Traditional non-image based lab gonioreflectomer with goniometric arms for positioning the light source and detector. Depicts sample and calibration coupon stages on moveable platform. The University of Virginia spherical gantry, an example of a modern image-based gonioreflectometer
Range of motion (or ROM) is the linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another. In biomechanics and strength training , ROM refers to the angular distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. [ 1 ]
Two points are marked: 5 cm below and 10 cm above this point (for a total of 15 cm distance). Then the patient is asked to touch his/her toes while keeping the knees straight. If the distance of the two points do not increase by at least 5 cm (with the total distance greater than 20 cm), then this is a sign of restriction in the lumbar flexion. [1]
Goniometer made by Develey le Jeune in Lausanne, late 18th–early 19th century. A goniometer is an instrument that either measures an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position.
PPIVM is used as an assessment technique to assist with identifying the location, nature, severity and irritability of vertebral symptoms. They can be used to test for cervical or lumbar joint hypermobility or instability, or whether a joint is locked. PPIVM assessments test the movement available at a specific spinal level through the ...
Cox Flexion-Distraction is a decompression–focused procedure that utilizes specialized adjusting tables with movable parts. These tables stretch and decompress the spine's facets and ligaments in a gentle rocking motion.
A positioning goniometer or goniometric stage is a device used to rotate an object precisely (within a small angular range) about a fixed axis in space. Its appearance is similar to that of a linear stage .
[4] [12] [7] A systematic review found cervical collar related skin ulcers from the devices in 7 to 38%. [ 16 ] There are no high-quality randomized trials supporting the practice of spinal cord immobilization in the field. [ 12 ]
