DVD: Paediatric Gait, Arms, Legs, Spine (pGALS)
pGALS is a simple, quick and validated musculoskeletal screening tool for use in the assessment of the school-aged child.

The DVD demonstrates the pGALS screen and has been designed as an educational resource for medical students and their teachers. It may also be of interest to allied health professionals and others working in the field of musculoskeletal medicine.
