Several recent studies have found that throwing athletes typically have lower humeral torsion (retroversion) and a greater range of external rotation at the shoulder than non-athletes. How these two parameters are related is debated. This study uses data from a sample of both throwers and non-throwers to test a new model that predicts torsion values from a range of motion data. The model propos...

Abstract Date Presented 04/21/2023 The purpose of this study was to determine whether similar goniometric measurements the upper extremity could be obtained in person and virtually. Goniometric were compared research reliability virtual using four clinicians 20 participants range motion measurements. Results showed that may used for clinical assessment.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to determine whether passive wrist flexion and extension goniometric measurements using ulnar alignment, radial alignment, and volar/dorsal alignment were similar or dissimilar and (2) to examine which of these three techniques had the greatest intratester and intertester reliability. SUBJECTS One hundred forty patients (141 wr...

Describing the light intensity over the hemisphere using a goniometric diagram is a common practice in the lighting industry and is prescribed for instance by IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) standards. Goniometric diagram specifies the spatial distribution of the emitted power via a hemispherical surface subdivided by meridians and parallels. Similar tabulated represen...
