Stationary arm parallel to sternum. If you are only interested in the end of the rom it is assumed that the start position is 0 and has been verified by visual determination.
Goniometry Ppt Uche
Upper body rom measurements. Axis center of humeral head near acromion process. Common upper extremity ranges of motions for the shoulder include 170 to 180 degrees of flexion 50 to 60 degrees of extension 170 to 180 degrees of abduction for moving the arm away from the body 80 to 90 degrees of internal rotation and 90 to 100 degrees of external rotation. Lateral flexion extension 25o flexion 90o left 25o right 25o degrees degrees. 184 70 american academy of orthopaedic surgeons 180 american medical association 184 mean 70 standard deviation boone and azen goniometer alignment. Rom examination is usually performed on the uninvolved extremity before the injured extremity. 150 american medical association 166 mean 47 standard deviation boone and azen goniometer alignment.
A normal range of motion for shoulder extension to the highest point you can lift your arm behind your back starting with your palms next to your body is between 45 and 60 degrees. Stationary arm parallel mid axillary line. If joints which do not appear on this chart are affected please indicate the degree of limited motion in your narrative. A 35 grade means that you are able to fully contract your muscle and move your body part through its full range of motion against the force of gravity. Range of motion rom is a measurement of the distance and direction a joint can move to its full potential. Upper extremity range of motion last modified by.
Axis center of humeral head near acromion process. Moving arm aligned with midline of humerus lateral epicondyle muscle stretch. Shoulder external rotation shoulder internal rotation shoulder flexion shoulder extension and cervical lateral flexion goniometric assessments. Take measurements at the start and end positions of the joint motion. Most of them are constructed to allow movement in predetermined directions. Please note position medication surgeries or anything that might effect rom measurements.
A joint is a location in the body where bones connect. If range of motion was normal for all joints please comment in your narrative summary. When gravity is reduced or eliminated during a change in body position the muscle is able to move the body part through its full range of motion.
