What part of the goniometer would be aligned at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus when measuring elbow flexion?

A patient with a right radial head fracture is being treated in physical therapy. The involved elbow range of motion begins at 15 degrees of flexion and ends at 90 degrees of flexion. The PTA should record the patient’s elbow flexion range of motion as:

Drinking from a cup requires about how much elbow flexion?

A PTA places the patient in supine with the shoulder abducted to 90 degrees and the elbow flexed to 90 degrees. The forearm is placed perpendicular to the supporting surface. The palm of the hand is facing the feet. The humerus is stabilized on the examining table with use of towel to level the humerus with the acromion process. What goniometric measurement test position is best described above?

The most appropriate testing motion to perform when assessing supination ROM on the patient’s left forearm would be to:

A PTA positions a patient in sitting to measure right wrist extension. Where does the PTA align the fulcrum for this measurement?

When measuring the DIP joint, what is the best position for the PIP joint to be placed during the measurement?

A PTA performs goniometric measurements on a patient for shoulder complex abduction range of motion. What plane and axis BEST describes the motion of shoulder abduction?

All of the following are movements of joint surfaces except:

Each digestive enzyme can break down any type of molecule, and can work properly anywhere throughout the digestive tract.
