In the CMS evaluation, which component is listed third?

Explanation:
In a CMS evaluation, you assess three aspects of a limb in a specific order: Circulation, Motor Function, then Sensation. The third component is Sensation. This sequencing starts with checking blood flow to ensure the limb is perfused, then whether the limb can move to assess motor integrity, and finally checks the nervous system’s ability to feel. Sensation testing helps detect nerve injury or sensory loss that circulation or motor tests might not reveal, which is why it comes last in the sequence.
