What is the procedure for performing goniometry?
1.position the pt
2.explain and demonstrate
3.perform motion passively 2-3 times for pt
4.stabilize the proximal body part
5. locate your axis , by palpating the bony landmark
6.place the stationary arm along the long axis or stationary fixed segment by palpating the bony landmark
7.place the moving arm parallel to the axis. palpate the bony landmark.
8. determine axis of motion. hold the toni between fingers and thumb. place it loosely along pt.
9.align the toni and ask the pt to perform the atom
10. re align the toni and take the reading at the end of the motion.
what are the type of end feels found in goniometry?
soft- soft tissue approximation

firm- slightly springy feel

hard - bone contact
