چکیده
The paper presents the results of comparative studies on the range of active elbow joint motion based on data obtained from 50 physical education students. The measurements were made with both an electrogoniometer and a manual goniometer. An explanation of differences in measurement results has been provided based on an investigation by the photographic method of 3 elbow joints using cadaveric material.

Smartphone and Universal Goniometer for Measurement of Elbow Joint Motions: A Comparative Study
BACKGROUND Universal goniometer (UG) is commonly used as a standard method to evaluate range of motion (ROM) as part of joint motions. It has some restrictions, such as involvement of both hands of the physician, leads to instability of hands and error. Nowadays smartphones usage has been increasing due to its easy application. OBJECTIVES The study was designed to compare the smartphone incli...
متن کاملReliability of Upper Limb Neurodynamic Tests: Median, Radial and Ulnar Nerves
Objective: in the evaluation of peripheral nerves, upper limb neurodynamic tests are used to assess the mechanical sensitivity of the nerve. However, very little is known about the reliability of upper limb neurodynamic tests, especially for the radial and ulnar nerves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of neurodynamic tests of the upper extremities including median, radial ...
متن کاملRange of motion in selected joints of diabetic and non-diabetic subjects.
The purpose of the study was to compare the mobility of selected joints of the limbs in diabetic and non-diabetics subjects. One hundred subjects comprising of 50 volunteer diabetics and 50 volunteer non-diabetics subjects participated in this study. The range of motion of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, fingers, hip and knee joins were measured using a double armed simple goniometer and recorded i...
متن کاملConcurrent validity and intertester reliability of universal and fluid-based goniometers for active elbow range of motion.
The purposes of this study were 1) to establish the concurrent validity of the universal goniometer and the fluid-based goniometer and 2) to determine the intertester reliability of these two instruments. A correlational study was performed in which two testers used the universal goniometer and the fluid-based goniometer in measuring elbow range of motion in 30 healthy subjects. The fluid-based...
