Range of Movement Assessment Flashcards
What type of data does goniometry give?
numeric ratio data (when 0 is absolute)
What three things must be done before completing goniometry?
- appropriately undress patient
- position patient to allow full ROM
- assess ROM by EYE
when is an inclinometer used?
when goniometry is impossible
