Ecs Goniometry Practical

Front 1

the technique of human joint measurement

Back 1

goniometry

Front 2

refers to the number of degrees present in a joint

Back 2

range of joint motion

Front 3

refers to the length of the muscle

Back 3

range of muscle length

Front 4

for __ joint muscles, the range of joint motion and range of muscle length will be the same

Back 4

one

Front 5

for __ joint muscles, the normal range of muscle length will be less than the total range of motion of the joints over which the muscle passes

Back 5

two

Front 6

used to place the joints in a zero starting position, to stabilize the proximal joint component, and to permit a complete ROM

Back 6

positioning

Front 7

soft tissues around a joint should be __ to permit complete ROM of the joint

Back 7

lax

Front 8

this helps to isolate the motion at a particular joint to insure that a true measurement of ROM results rather than a measurement of combined motions at a series of joints; should be supplemented manually when needed

Back 8

stabilization

Front 9

this arm of the goniometer should be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the proximal portion of the joint (non-moving segment)

stationary arm

Front 10

this arm of the goniometer should be parallel to the longitudinal axis of the distal portion of the joint (moving segment)

moving arm
