Goniometry Flashcards
shoulder flexion ROM
180
GH flexion ROM
115
end feel for shoulder and GH flexion
firm
shoulder complex flexion stabilization
stabilize thorax to prevent spinal extension
GH flexion stabilization
stabilize lateral border scapula, prevent scapular posterior tilting, upward rotation and elevation
shoulder and GH alignment for flexion and extension
stationary - midaxillary line of thorax
moving - lateral midline of humerus, lateral epicondyle
fulcrum - greater tubercle
shoulder and GH flexion testing position
supine
shoulder and GH extension testing position
prone
shoulder complex extension ROM
60
GH extension ROM
20
shoulder complex and GH end feel
firm
shoulder complex stabilization for extension
weight of trunk/table
GH stabilization for extension
stabilize at inferior angle scapula, prevent scapular elevation and anterior tilting
shoulder complex abduction ROM
180
GH abduction ROM
120-125
shoulder and GH abduction testing position
supine
shoulder and GH abduction end feel
firm
shoulder complex abduction stabilization
stabilize thorax, prevent lateral flexion of spine
GH abduction stabilization
stabilize scapula, prevent scapular upward rotation and elevation
shoulder and GH abduction alignment
stationary - parallel to midline of sternum
moving - midline of humerus, medial epicondyle
fulcrum - acromial process
internal shoulder rotation ROM
70
internal and external shoulder rotation testing position
supine, shoulder at 90, humerus supported by towel
internal and external shoulder rotation end feel
firm
internal and external shoulder rotation alignment
stationary - perpendicular to floor
moving - midline of ulna, olecranon and ulnar styloid process
fulcrum - olecranon process
external shoulder rotation ROM
90
elbow flexion ROM
150
elbow flexion stabilization
at humerus to prevent shoulder flexion
elbow flexion end feel
usually soft but can be hard if minimal muscle bulk
elbow flexion alignment
stationary - lateral midline of humerus, center of acromion
moving - lateral midline of radius, radial styloid process
fulcrum - lateral epicondyle of the humerus
elbow extension ROM
0
elbow extension stabilization
at humerus to prevent medial rotation and abduction of the shoulder
elbow extension end feel
hard
elbow extension alignment
stationary - lateral midline of humerus, center of acromion
moving - lateral midline of radius, radial styloid process
fulcrum - lateral epicondyle of the humerus
pronation ROM
80
supination and pronation testing position
sitting, elbow flexed at 90 with forearm supinated, begin with thumb pointed toward ceiling
pronation stabilization
at distal end of humerus to prevent internal rotation and abduction of shoulder
pronation end feel
hard or firm
pronation alignment
stationary - parallel to the anterior midline of the humerus
moving - across dorsal aspect of forearm just proximal to styloid process
fulcrum - lateral to ulnar styloid process
elbow extension testing position
supine, place pad under distal humerus, full supination
