The hip joint's range of motion (ROM) is an important clinical parameter used in hip assessment. The goniometer can simply measure the joint angles.

Introduction[edit | edit source]
The hip joint's range of motion (ROM) is an important clinical parameter used in hip assessment. The goniometer can simply measure the joint angles. However, it has some limitations not allowing the clinician to analyse the ROM and track the hip joint during eg walking or maximum squat. Motion capture devices are mainly used to analyse the patient's gait and assess the condition of the joints and bones.[1]
Anatomical Movement[edit | edit source]
Hip flexion (with knee flexion)
Testing position[edit | edit source]
Patient is supine with hips and knees in neutral rotation
Goniometer Placement[edit | edit source]
| AXIS LOCATION | STATIONARY ARM | MOVEMENT ARM |
|---|---|---|
| femoral greater trochanter | parallel to the trunk | parallel with longitudinal axis of the femur in line with the lateral femoral condyle |
Expected Findings[edit | edit source]
Expected range of motion is 0- 120 degrees[2]
