Measure joint range of motion with the manual that set the standard.
Now with all-new, full-color photographs!
Here is the guidance you need to identify impairments successfully and assess rehabilitation status effectively. For each measurable joint in the body, you’ll find a consistent, easy-to-follow format and exceptional photographs that depict range of motion and alignment, making it easy for you to visualize the examination and technique for each joint motion and muscle length test.

Measurements made easy “…actual photographs that show you how to measure various ROM's. No confusing drawings. just pictures. So helpful. They also do a great job of summarizing the most important tips for each joint (i.e., normal ROMs, where to place the goni, etc.)”
- New! Over 360 all-new, full-color photographs to make concepts and techniques crystal clear and easy to follow
- New & Expanded! Tables that summarize current research findings on the reliability of assessing joint motion and muscle length
Updated! Evidence on the effects of an individual’s characteristics such as age, gender, and body mass, as well as the effects of the testing process
- Large, easy-to-interpret full-color photographs and detailed illustrations that clearly show landmarks for goniometer alignment, range-of-motion procedures with and without the goniometer, and muscle-length testing procedures
- Range-of-motion and normative value boxes
- Coverage of bubble inclinometers and therabites, detailed descriptions of normal end-feel patterns, and laboratory exercises and examples throughout
