Joint Range of Motion and Muscle Length Testing, 3rd Edition, is a reference designed to guide clinicians in measuring joint range of motion and muscle length across all age groups. The text introduces foundational measurement principles alongside historical background and practical clinical relevance.
Thematic coverage addresses range of motion evaluation and muscle length testing across the upper and lower extremities, the spine, and the temporomandibular joint. The volume also outlines assessment considerations specific to pediatric populations.
Prepared specifically for physical therapy and occupational therapy professionals, the book examines the reliability and validity associated with each testing method. In addition, a companion website provides video clips demonstrating more than 100 measurement procedures to support clinical practice.
