Riassunto

Every Physical Therapy student will learn how to measure joint range of motion (ROM) at the beginning of his or her education. This text provides clear and comprehensive techniques for the measurement of both joint ROM and muscle length testing. The techniques presented include demonstrating the use of the goniometer, inclinometer, and tape measure for the examination of the upper and lower extremities, spine and temporomandibular joint. This text provides the most complete information on measurement of joint ROM of the spine and muscle length of the upper and lower extremities available to date.

In addition to the comprehensive coverage of the measurement techniques, this text provides valuable information on measuring norms and a critical review on the reliability of those tests.
