Organize findings by joint, system, or note style (SOAP, H&P) to ensure no anatomical region is overlooked.
EHR-Ready Output
Generate a clean, professional summary of the musculoskeletal exam ready for clinician review and copy/paste.
From physical exam to finalized note
Turn your musculoskeletal assessment into a structured record.
Record the encounter
Use the web app to record the patient visit, including your verbal cues during the physical exam.
Review the AI draft
Check the generated MSK findings against the transcript-backed source context to ensure fidelity.
Finalize and export
Edit any specific nuances and copy the finalized normal assessment directly into your EHR.
Standardizing the Normal Musculoskeletal Exam
Strong normal musculoskeletal documentation should explicitly cover joint range of motion (ROM), muscle tone, strength, and the absence of edema, erythema, or tenderness. A complete normal assessment typically notes symmetrical joint movement, stable ligaments, and a gait that is steady and purposeful, ensuring that the 'normal' claim is supported by specific clinical observations rather than a vague statement.
Aduvera replaces the need to manually type these repetitive findings or rely on static templates that may not reflect the actual visit. By recording the encounter, the AI captures the specific joints assessed and the clinician's observations, producing a first draft that the provider can verify using transcript citations before finalizing the note.

Common Questions on MSK Documentation
Transcript-backed documentation, clinician review, and EHR-ready note output are built into every workflow.
What should be included in a 'normal' MSK note?
Include findings on joint stability, full active and passive ROM, normal muscle bulk, and the absence of crepitus or swelling.
Can I use my specific normal MSK patterns in Aduvera?
Yes, the AI generates notes based on the encounter recording, allowing your natural documentation style to be reflected in the draft.
How does the AI handle 'negative' findings in an MSK exam?
The AI identifies the absence of abnormal findings mentioned during the encounter and structures them as normal clinical observations.
Can I verify that the AI didn't hallucinate a normal finding?
Yes, you can review the transcript-backed source context and per-segment citations for every claim in the draft.
