Rom examination is usually performed on the uninvolved extremity before the injured extremity. 62 95 american academy of orthopaedic surgeons 50 american medical association 623 mean 95 standard deviation boone and azen goniometer alignment. Goniometry for the upper extremity part 2 duration. Abduction 0 to 45 degrees. Moving arm aligned with midline of humerus lateral epicondyle muscle stretch. Axis center of humeral head near acromion process.
Lateral flexion extension 25o flexion 90o left 25o right 25o degrees degrees. Anthropometric measurements duration. Take measurements at the start and end positions of the joint motion. Stationary arm parallel mid axillary line. If joints which do not appear on this chart are affected please indicate the degree of limited motion in your narrative. Extension 115 to 0 degrees.
A normal range of motion for shoulder extension to the highest point you can lift your arm behind your back starting with your palms next to your body is between 45 and 60 degrees. 150 american medical association 166 mean 47 standard deviation boone and azen goniometer alignment. Axis center of humeral head near acromion process. Stationary arm parallel mid axillary line. Shoulder joint rom assessment duration. If range of motion was normal for all joints please comment in your narrative summary.
Medial rotation rotation towards the center of the body 0 to 45 degrees. Lateral rotation rotation away from the center of the body 0 to 45 degrees. Please note position medication surgeries or anything that might effect rom measurements. Hyperextension straightening beyond normal range 0 to 15 degrees. Adduction 45 to 0 degrees. If you are only interested in the end of the rom it is assumed that the start position is 0 and has been verified by visual determination.
