goniometric technique

Shoulder flexion

axis: acromial processstationary arm: midaxillary line of thoraxMoveable are: lateral midline of hte humerus using the lateral epicondyle of the humerus for reference

shoulder extension

axis: acrominal processstationary arm: midaxillary line of the thoraxmoveable arm: lateral midline of the humerus using the lateral epicondyle of the humerus for reference

shoulder abduction

axis: anterior aspect of the acromial processstationary arm: parallel to the midline of the anterior aspect of the sternummoveable arm: medial midline of the humerus

shoulder adduction

axis: anterior aspect of the acromial process stationary arm: parallel to the midline of the anterior aspect of the strnummoveable arm: medial midline of the humerus

shoulder medial (internal) rotation

axis: olecranon processstationary arm: parallel or perpendicular to the floormoveable arm: ulna using the olecranon process and ulnar styloid process for reference

shoulder lateral (external) rotation

axis:olecranon processstationary arm: parallel or perpendicular to hte floormoveable arm: ulna using the olecranon process and ulnar styloid process for reference

Elbow flexion and extension

axis: lateral epicondyle of the humerusstationary arm: lateral midline of hte humerus using the center of the acromial process for referencemoveable arm: lateral midline of the radius using the radial head and radial styloid process for reference

forearm pronation

axis: lateral to the ulnar styloid process stationary arm: parallel to the anterior midline of the humerusmoveable arm: dorsal aspect of the forearm, just proximal to the styloid process of the radius and ulna

forearm supination

axis: medial to the ulnar styloid processstationary arm: parallel to the anterior midline of the humerusmoveable arm: ventral aspect of hte forearm, just proximal to the styloid process of the radius and ulna

hip flexion

axis: over the lateral aspect of the hip joint using the greater trochanter of the femur for referencestationary arm: lateral midline of the pelvismoveable arm: lateral midline of the femur using the lateral epicondyle for reference

hip extension

axis: over the lateral aspect of the hip joint using the great trochanter of the femur for referencestationary arm: lateral midline of the pelvismoveable arm: lateral midline of the femur using the lateral epicondyle for reference

hip abduction

axis: over the ASIS of the extremity being measuredstationary arm: align with imaginary horizontal line extending from one ASIS to the other ASISmoveable arm: anterior midline of the femur using the midline of the patella for reference

hip adduction

axis: over the ASIS of the extremity being measuredstationary arm: align with imaginary horizontal line extending from one ASIS to the other ASISmoveable arm: anterior midline of the femur usine the midline of the patella for reference

knee flexion and extension

axis: lateral epicondyle of the femurstationary arm: lateral midline of the femur using the greater trochanter for referancemoveable arm: lateral midline of the fibula using the lateral malleolus and fibular head for reference

ankle plantar and dorsiflexion

axis: lateral aspect of the lateral malleolusstationary arm: lateral midline of the fibula using the head of the fibula for referencemoveable arm: parallel to the lateral aspect of the fifth metatarsal
