Joyce SR Print(0) ID 1186285373 T1 Introduction to Goniometry and Muscle Length Testing: Introduction T2 Measurement of Joint Motion: A Guide to Goniometry, 5e YR 2016 FD 2016 PB McGraw-Hill Education PP New York, NY SN 9780803645660 LK fadavispt.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1186285373 RD 2024/10/14 AB This book is designed to serve as a guide for learning how to assess range of motion and muscle length. Part I presents the background information on the principles and procedures necessary for understanding goniometry. Practice exercises are included at appropriate intervals to help the examiner apply this information and develop the psychomotor skills necessary for competency in measuring joint motion and muscle length. Different types of joint range-of-motion measuring instruments such as goniometers and inclinometers are introduced so that examiners become competent in their use. The validity and reliability of goniometric measurements are explored to encourage thoughtful and appropriate use of these techniques in clinical practice. Parts II through IV present the procedures for the examination of joint range of motion and muscle length testing of the upper and lower extremities, the spine, and temporomandibular joints.
