AB The  measurement  of  joint  motion  is  an  important  component  of  a  thorough  physical  examination  of  the  extremities  and  spine,  one  which  helps  health  professionals  determine  function,  identify  impairments,  and  assess  rehabilitative  status.  The  need  for  a  comprehensive  text  with  sufficient  written  detail  and  photographs  to  allow  for  the  standardization  of  goniometric  measurement  methods—both  for  the  purposes  of  teaching  and  clinical  practice—led  to  the  development  of  the  first  edition  of  the  Measurement  of  Joint  Motion:  A  Guide  to  Goniometry  in  1985.  Our  approach  included  a  discussion  and  photographs  of  testing  position,  stabilization,  end-feel,  and  goniometer  alignment  for  each  measurable  joint  in  the  body.  The  resulting  text  was  extremely  well  received  by  a  variety  of  health  professional  educational  programs  and  was  used  as  a  reference  in  many  clinical  settings  and  research  studies.
