Kinesitherapy – measures of range of motion
About
Measuring the range of motion is important for evaluating movement function. It involves the free mobility of extremities involved in the joint as well as the mobility of the spine. Measurements are taken from the so-called zero or neutral position, which is defined for each joint and from which the measurement begins.
Candidate
With any immobilization caused by a fracture, plaster cast, or surgery, muscle structures shorten and the range of motion in the joint decreases. After measuring the range of motion, appropriate exercises and physical therapy are determined.
Preparation
No special preparation is required.
Treatment
The range of motion in a specific joint is measured using a goniometer.
