Why a particular Hcp must be competent in his/her knowledge of the Muscular system
It is important for a HCP to know the knowledge of the muscular system for many reasons. They need to know everything around the area that they majored in because that may be the cause of the problem. For an example if there is a problem with the deltiod then you would want to make sure the are around it is okay also. Without knowing the muscular system then you wouldn't know what the problem is. That is why you have to know all parts of the muscular system other than one part. Also if you know about the muscular system then that could help you find a solution to the problem that the patient may have.
