A goniometer: is an instrument that measures the available range of motion at a joint. Parts: Fulcrum (axis). Body: It is designed like a protractor and may form a full or a half-circle. It has a scale for the measurement of the angle. The scale can extend either from 0 to 180 degrees or 180 to 0 degrees for half circle models or 0 to 360 degrees on full circle models. Stationary arm: aligned parallel and lateral to long axis of fixed body segment. Moving arm: aligned parallel and lateral to long axis of moving body segment. Shoulder flexion-extension ROM: 0:90° Testing position: Patient is supine or sitting. Fulcrum: lateral to acromion. Stationary arm: parallel to trunk. Moving arm: parallel to midline of lateral humerus Shoulder hyper extension ROM: 0:50° Testing position: Patient is prone /sitting. Fulcrum: lateral to acromion. Stationary arm: parallel to trunk. Moving arm: parallel to midline of lateral humerus
