Measurement of Joint Motion This is a new study for me and I am learning as I read. A bit technical, but I expected that. Would like to have an expert work with me to make the process managable. Most of my clients, I am massage therapist, don't see the need for the measurements, but I know that it helps me. I learn as I go.
PTA This is an excellent reference book for the classes that I am taking. It is very detailed.
Best BOok I had to buy 3 text books for a kinesiology class and this one is my favorite. It covers the hands-on portion of kinesiology and is very easy to interpret.
Excellent This is an excellent as easily describes how to do ROM of all sorts of joints. A great book for a student and practitioner that needs to look up the more obscure joints. It has tables as well for normal ROM. You can't go wrong with this one.
Invaluable I got an earlier edition of this book in Physical Therapy school and it was invaluable in teaching the finer points of goniometry. I constantly used it as a source of information, until I became comfortable with measuring joint range of motion. Since I am now working in the inpatient arena, I mostly repeatedly measure knees, but refer back to it when I need to brush up on another joint. It has clear pictures and overall is a great reference book for anyone who has to evaluate joint ranges of motion.
