    The document discusses different types of goniometers used to measure range of motion and recommends testing positions to place joints in a starting position of 0 degrees and allow for complete range of motion. It provides instructions for properly using a universal goniometer to measure range of motion at various joints, including positioning the fulcrum over the joint axis and moving the distal segment to measure range. Factors that can affect range of motion measurements and osteokinematics of the shoulder joint are also outlined.

    1. Universal goniometer (most common)
    2. Gravity dependent goniometer of fluid
    goniometer
    3. Pendulum goniometer
    4. Electrogoniometer
    Fulcrum
    Stable arm
    Movable arm
    - Testing positions refer to the positions of the
    body that we recommend for obtaining
    goniometric measurements.
    - The testing positions are designed to do the
    following
    - A. place the joint in a starting position of 0
    degrees
    - B. permit a complete ROM
    - Testing positions involve position like supine,
    prone, sitting and standing.
     Total procedure should b explain to the
    patient.
     Therapist has to stand near to the patient
    and facing the joint, which has to be
    measured.
     Fulcrum or axis of the goniometer is placed
    over the axis of the joint to be measured.
     Movable arm is fixed with the distal segment
    of the joint.
     Stable arm is fixed the proximal segment of
    the joint.
     Therapist has to move the distal segment of
    the joint with the movable arm of the
    goniometer to measure the joint ROM.
     Soft tissue tightness
     Adhesion formation
     Injuries or inflammation around the joint
     Muscle bulk
     Gender
     Age
     Nervous system
     Synovial ball and socket joint
     Ball is the convex head of the humerus
     Socket is the concave glenoid fossa of the
    scapula
    Osteokinematics
    3 degree of freedom
     Humeral, scapular, and clavicular motion at
    the Glenohumeral, sternoclavicular
    acromoioclavicular and scapulothoracic
    joints
     Flexion-extension and abduction-adduction
    occurs as a rolling and sliding of the head of
    the humerus on glenoid fossa.
     Direction of sliding is opposite to the
    movements of the shaft.
     Slides posteriorly and inferiorly in flexion,
    anteriorly and superiorly in extension,
    inferiorly in abduction and superiorly in
    adduction.
     In lateral rotation, head slides anteriorly and
    in medial rotation, head slides posteriorly on
    the glenoid fossa.
     Lateral rotation, followed by abduction, with
    less limitation in medial rotation.
     End feel is firm in shoulder joint.
