1. GONIOMETRY

2. Have a group discussion on
What is goniometry ?
Importance of goniometry ?
Normal Ranges of the joints ?
What is AROM & PROM ?
What is degree of freedom ?

3. Goniometry is the measuring of angles created by the bones of the body at the joints
System to measure the joint ranges in each plane of the joint
These joints are measured by a goniometer

4. Goniometer Has three parts Stationary arms Moving arms Fulcrum
The fulcrum or body is placed over the joint being measured and on it is a scale from 0 to 180.
The stationary arm will be aligned with the inactive part of the joint measured
while the moving arm is placed on the part of the limb which is moved in the joint’s motion

6. AROM & PROM
Each specific joint has a normal range of motion that is expressed in degrees.
Joint ranges are divided in to
Active range of motion AROM
Passive range of motion PROM
Is AROM & PROM are equal
Reasons for any change

7. Degree of freedom
