Range of Motion
Purpose: Detect changes in range of motion produced by pathological conditions.
Procedure: Range of motion is measured using a goniometer. The goniometer is lined up with anatomical landmarks and the angle of movement is measured.
Normal Result: Normal hip flexion ROM is 0-100 degrees, hip extension is 0-30 degrees, hip abduction is 0-40 degrees, hip adduction is 0-20 degrees, hip internal rotation is 0-45 degrees, and hip external rotation is 0-45 degrees. Normal knee ROM is 0-150 degrees, normal dorsiflexion is 0-20 degrees, normal inversion is 30 degrees normal eversion is 0-20 degrees, and normal plantar flexion is 0-50 degrees.
Abnormal Result: Decreased range of motion at the hip, knee, or ankle. This may be limited by edema, neuromuscular control, or joint mobility or integrity.
