Practical II Flashcards
how to measure ROM for elbow flexion
position: supine, arm next to body with towel
axis: lateral epicondyle
stationary: midline of humerus
moving: midline of radius
how to measure ROM for elbow extension
position: supine, arm next to body with towel
axis: lateral epicondyle
stationary: midline of humerus
moving: midline of radius
how to measure ROM for elbow pronation
position: seated, elbow at 90, shoulder neutral, ARM neutral with thumb up
axis: proximal/lateral to ulnar styloid process
stationary: parallel to midline of humerus
moving: dorsal surface of forearm, proximal to styloid process of radius
how to measure ROM for elbow supination
position: seated, elbow at 90, shoulder neutral, ARM neutral with thumb up
axis: proximal/medial to ulnar styloid process
stationary: parallel to midline of humerus
moving: ventral surface of forearm, proximal to styloid process of radius
how to measure ROM for wrist flexion
