An in-depth visual guide to manual muscle testing. Principles of
Goniometry and Manual Muscle Testing combines manual muscle testing
and joint range of motion measurement in a single resource to mimic
how a clinician would practically work through a complete patient
assessment. Anatomy springs to life with detailed medical
illustrations of muscles, bones, and ligaments—making complex
concepts easy to visualize and apply to the specific regions being
targeted. Mastery of manual muscle testing and joint range of motion
measurement is a key competency for a practitioner, and this text
supports students in applying tests safely, efficiently, and
effectively in clinical practice. Each chapter features user-friendly
muscle tables outlining normative range of joint motion, muscle
attachments, innervation, and vascular supply. For every range of
motion and manual muscle test, full-color visuals show the targeted
muscle and its bony attachments, along with step-by-step instructions
using goniometers, tape measures, and inclinometers. Alternative
testing positions are included to accommodate diverse patient needs
and clinical scenarios. Clinical tips are provided throughout the
book, giving students the opportunity to learn from an experienced
clinician. Tips include modified positions, stabilizing techniques,
and compensations most likely to be observed and how to prevent them
from happening. This highly visual text is packed full of medical
illustrations and photographs, and related online videos that further
support clinical skill development are delivered through HKPropel.
Every manual muscle test in the book has an accompanying video that
demonstrates the test, allowing the learner to hear cues given to a
patient by a seasoned clinician. Serving as a bridge to practice,
Principles of Goniometry and Manual Muscle Testing empowers students
to develop proficiency in essential evidence-based assessment
techniques that form the cornerstone of rehabilitative care. Note: A
code for accessing HKPropel online videos is included with this ebook.
