Joint Range of Motion and Muscle Length Test

This practical guide provides explanations of the techniques for
measuring both joint range of motion and muscle length testing. In
addition to the comprehensive coverage of the measurement techniques,
this text provides valuable information on measuring norms and a
critical review on the reliability of specific tests. It demonstrates
the use of the goniometer, inclinometer, and tape measure for the
examination of the upper and lower extremities, spine, and
temporomandibular joint. Readers will find the most complete
information available to date on measurement of joint ROM of the
spine, as well as muscle length of the upper and lower extremities.
