Range of Motion Grading and Setup

Active ROM is different than passive because you do push to get _ _ and can often _ the angle

End feel, increase

The fulcrum of the goniometer will be at the _ _, the _ _ will be at the proximal segment, the _ _ at the distal segment

Joint axis, stationary arm, moving arm

How would you go about measuring ROM?

1. Seek consent/comfort

2. Palpate for landmarks

3. Instruct or push movement, noting end feel if passive

4. Adjust goniometer to get measurement

5. Return patient to neutral and ask about pain with the motion

6. Report findings

How would you report R shoulder flexion of 145 passively without pain?

Passive right shoulder flexion in supine was 145 degrees, which is abnormal (hypomobile). Firm joint feel, which is normal. 0/10 pain reported.
