Goniometry Flashcards
(33 cards)
Normal End feels:
- soft
- firm
- hard
- soft tissue approximation
- muscular stretch, capsular stretch, ligamentous stretch
- bone contacting bone
abnormal end feels:
- soft
- firm
- hard
- empty
- occurs sooner or later in the ROM than is usual, or in a joint that is normally hard or firm, boggy (edema, synovitis)
- occurs sooner or alter in ROM, or in joint than normally is hard or soft
- occurs sooner or later in ROM, or in joint that is normally other- bony grating or bony block is felt
- no real end-feel because pain prevents reaching of ROM
steps for goniometry
- positioning
- stabilization
- ROM
- End feel assessment
- Visual Estimate
