Case description

The GALS (G=gait, A=arms, L=legs, S=spine) is a validated screen for quick but efficient assessment of a person's musculoskeletal system and for their ability to undertake activities of daily living. On its own, the GALS screen often provides sufficient information to allow a diagnosis of prevalent locomotor disorders.
