Units II and III delve directly into the lower and upper extremities, reviewing relevant anatomy, discussing common injuries, and discussing their assessment. Finally, Unit IV “Medical Considerations and Risk Management” provides an overview of factors to keep in mind when evaluating the lower and upper extremities, including the needs of special populations, environmental conditions, and other medical conditions that can complicate the evaluation.
