Anatomical Movement[edit | edit source]
Forearm pronation
Testing position[edit | edit source]
Patient is seated with the shoulder adducted by their side, elbow flexed to 90 degrees and forearm in the neutral position to start.
A simple trick is to have the patient hold a pen or pencil for ease of measurement.
Goniometer Placement[edit | edit source]
AXIS LOCATION | STATIONARY ARM | MOVEMENT ARM |
