Introduction Examiner Obtains these measurements by placing instrument alongwith the bones that are immediately proximal and distal to the joint being evaluated. GONIOMETRY
Kinematics Study of Motion without regard of forces that are creating motion Arthokinematics Osteokinematics Goniometry measures angles created by motion of the shaft of the bones.
Clinical Implication Concave Convex Rule When a convex joint surface is moving, the roll and glide occur in the opposite direction. When a concave joint surface is moving, the roll and the glide occur in the same direction.
Range of Motion
