Forearm goniometry

Question 1

Elbow Flexion/extension:
plane =
axis =
range =

Answer 1

Elbow Flexion/extension:
plane = sagittal
axis = coronal
range = 0-150

Question 2

Elbow Flexion/extension:

position =

Answer 2

Elbow Flexion/extension:

position = supine, shoulder neutral, palm facing ceiling, pad under distal humerus to allow full extension

Question 3

Elbow Flexion/extension:

stabilize =

Answer 3

Elbow Flexion/extension:

stabilize = distal humerus to prevent shoulder flexion

Question 4

Elbow Flexion/extension: end-feel:
flexion =
extension =

Answer 4

Elbow Flexion/extension: end-feel:
flexion = soft(muscle bulk) or hard(coronoid process and fossa) or firm(post. joint capsule, triceps)
extension = hard(olecranon process and fossa) or firm(tension of ant. muscles)

Question 5

Elbow Flexion/extension:

fulcrum =

Answer 5

Elbow Flexion/extension:

fulcrum = lateral epicondyle of humerus

Question 6

Elbow Flexion/extension: Gon. position:
stationary =
moving =

Answer 6

Elbow Flexion/extension: Gon. position:
stationary = lateral midline of humerus(acromion process)
moving = lateral midline of radius(styloid process)

Question 7

Pronation:
plane =
axis =
range =

Answer 7

Pronation:
plane = transverse
axis = longitudinal
range = 0-80

Question 8

Pronation:

position =

Answer 8

Pronation:

position = sitting, shoulder neutral, elbow flexed to 90, forearm supported by therapist so thumb points to ceiling

Question 9

Pronation:

stabilize =

Answer 9

Pronation:

stabilize = distal humerus to prevent shoulder IR and Abd.

Question 10

Pronation:

end-feel =

Answer 10

Pronation:

end-feel = hard(ulna and radius) or firm(supinator and biceps, dorsal radioulnar lig)

Question 11

Pronation:

fulcrum =

Answer 11

Pronation:

fulcrum = lateral to ulnar styloid process

Question 12

Pronation: Gon. position:
stationary =
moving =

Answer 12

Pronation: Gon. position:
stationary = parallel to anterior midline of humerus
moving = across forearm, dorsal aspect, just proximal to styloid processes

Question 13

Supination:
plane =
axis =
range =

Answer 13

Supination:
plane = transverse
axis = longitudinal
range = 0-80

Question 14

Supination:

position =

Answer 14

Supination:

position = sitting, shoulder neutral, elbow flexed to 90, forearm supported by therapist so thumb points to ceiling

Question 15

Supination:

stabilize =

Answer 15

Supination:

stabilize = distal humerus to prevent shoulder ER and add.

Question 16

Supination:

end-feel =

Answer 16

Supination:

end-feel = firm(pronator teres and quadratus, palmar radioulnar lig.)

Question 17

supination:

fulcrum =

Answer 17

supination:

fulcrum = medial to ulnar styloid process

Question 18

supination: Gon. position:
stationary =
moving =

Answer 18

supination: Gon. position:
stationary = parallel to anterior midline of humerus
moving = across forearm, ventral aspect, just proximal to styloid processes
