Introduction
Muscle length refers to the ability of a muscle crossing a joint or joints to lengthen, allowing these joints to move through their available range of motion. Muscle length has a significant impact on function. Effective movement requires full range of motion across our joints. Understanding muscle length is, therefore, important for our clinical assessment and treatment planning. This course explores muscle length and the principles of muscle length testing.

This course aims to provide foundational knowledge on the assessment of muscle length.
