Upper extremity joint movement: comparison of two measurement devices. 1989

The Ortho Ranger is a new device available for measurement of joint motion. The purposes of this study were (1) to determine the clinical reliability of the Ortho Ranger compared to the reliability of the standard goniometer and (2) to investigate the correlation between the Ortho Ranger and the goniometer for upper extremity joint movements in healthy adults. Three measurements with each instrument were taken during three different sessions for active shoulder, elbow, and wrist movements. The within-session reliability was higher for the goniometer. The Pearson correlation coefficients suggest a strong relationship between the Ortho Ranger and the goniometer for shoulder internal and external rotation, and a poor relationship for elbow movements. The Ortho Ranger does not provide remarkable advantages in measurement compared to the goniometer.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009068 Movement The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior. Movements
