T2  - Measurement of Joint Motion: A Guide to Goniometry, 5e
AB  - Competency  in  goniometry  requires  that  the  examiner  learn  the  structure  and  function  of  each  joint  being  measured.  The  examiner  must  also  develop  the  necessary  psychomotor  skills  for  measuring  range  of  motion  and  muscle  length.  This  chapter  contains  exercises  designed  to  assist  the  examiner  in  recognizing  the  end  of  the  range  of  motion  and  identifying  end-feels  as  well  as  exercises  providing  practice  in  reading  the  goniometer  and  other  instruments  employed  in  the  measurement  process.  Positioning  and  stabilization  are  included  in  the  chapter  as  initial  parts  of  the  12-step  examination  sequence,  which  includes,  among  others,  locating  and  palpating  bony  landmarks  and  methods  of  recording  range  of  motion  and  muscle  length.
