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.
