This investigation was conducted to determine if there are significant differences between the lateral and the over-the-joint methods of goniometry for measurements of the elbow joint. Forty physical therapy students with previous goniometric training were divided randomly into four goniometric measurement groups: 1) lateral method for an obtuse angle, 2) lateral method for an acute angle, 3) o...

Purpose. To report the mean and median pelvic limb joint angles and girth measurements in miniature Dachshunds presenting with varying degrees of pelvic limb weakness secondary to thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion. Methods. 15 miniature Dachshunds who presented to WSU-VTH for thoracolumbar disc extrusion. Dachshunds varied in neurologic status from ambulatory paraparetic to paraplegic...

results the results of this study showed high reliability and validity of smartphone in regarding ug with icc > 0.95. the highest reliability for both methods was in elbow supination and the lowest was in the elbow flexion (0.84). objectives the study was designed to compare the smartphone inclinometer-based app and ug in evaluation of rom of elbow. materials and methods the maximum rom of elbo...

Clinical measurement of range of motion is a fundamental evaluation procedure with ubiquitous application in physical therapy. Objective measurements of ROM and correct interpretation of the measurement results can have a substantial impact on the development of the scientific basis of therapeutic interventions. The purpose of this article is to review the related literature on the reliability ...

A~traet--High-resolution X-ray texture goniometry (HRXTG) significantly improves peak/back~ound ratios and allows for the determination of crystallographic preferred fabrics of small regions (<1 mnt:) in heterogeneously deformed rocks. The basic instrument is a commercially available automated single-crystal X-ray diffractometer equipped with a Mo source. A stage for transmission mode was const...

In symptomatic subjects, the reliability of tests for shoulder joint range of motion has yet to be determined. For this reason, inter-rater and intra-rater agreement trials were undertaken to ascertain the reliability of visual estimation, goniometry, still photography, "stand and reach" and hand behind back reach for six different shoulder movements. Intra-class correlation coefficients (Rho) ...

OBJECTIVE Analize data on patients submitted to transfer of the pronator teres (PT) or the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCB) to the extensor carpi radialis longus/brevis (ECRL/B) in order to correct flexed wrist deformity in patients with cerebral palsy. METHOD Patients were divided into two groups: PT group and FCU group to ECRL/B. The results were evaluated by goniometry and by the functional hand...
