Anatomical Movement[edit | edit source]
Elbow flexion
Testing position[edit | edit source]
Patient is supine or seated with the hand supinated and the arm parallel to the midline of the body
Goniometer Placement[edit | edit source]
| AXIS LOCATION | STATIONARY ARM | MOVEMENT ARM |
|---|---|---|
| lateral epicondyle of the elbow | parallel with the humerus | parallel with the radius |
Expected Findings[edit | edit source]
Expected range of motion is 150 degrees but variation is seen with increased arm circumference, i.e. decreased "normal" range of motion due to large biceps.
