  2. How is measurement influenced by the following? • Movement /Isolation of the joint • Injury • Pain

  3. Using the goniometer • Use large black arrow on the outer scale for: Flexion/Extension of the hip, knee, elbow • Use the small black triangle on the outer scale for: Shoulder Flexion, Elbow pronation and supination • Use red arrow and inner red scale for: Ankle dorsiflexion, plantar flexion Please note that goniometers are different. There are more than one type. Use this as a guideline.

  4. Hip extensionPlease write down and answer all of the questions from each slide. • Try to be at the level of the joint being measured • Identify the greater trochanter • Identify lateral epichondyle • Measure and record. What might cause a patient to be unable to measure hip extension or begin at 0 degrees?

  5. Hip flexion • Have patient lie on the back (prone or supine?) • Use the same landmarks as with extension. • How might a patient who had knee surgery prefer assistance with measurement?

  6. Knee Flexion and Extension • To begin, is the patient prone or supine? • Now identify the body sites in the link and measure. Which sites do you use? • What term is used if a patient can extend more than straight?

  7. Shoulder flexion • Which position do you place the patient in? • What site do you identify for measurement and where is the center part of the goniometer placed? • Where is the stationary arm placed? • Where is the moving arm of the goniometer placed? • Which way should the palm and thumb face? • What body common body deviations should you look for?

  8. Elbow flexion and extension • Record 4 details of elbow flexion and extension that you would want to teach another student to look for.

  9. Elbow pronation and supination • What position should the patient be in?

  10. Radial styloid process

  11. Hip replacement alternatives • Birmingham hip resurfacing http://www.dmc.org/VideoLibrary/ShowVideo.aspx?Library=1&VideoID=3 • Conference for hip theory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErE2NgfeMgA • Hip Resurfacing http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/14/health/14hip.html?pagewanted=all

  12. Hand in your answers/records with the check in sheet. • It should include: • Hip replacement virtual surgery • ROM (it should be with this work) • Partner evaluation of ambulation • Medical terminology/flash cards • Goniometer verbal explanation
