When recovering from an injury or surgery, restoring full range of motion (ROM) is critical to regain full mobility and prevent long-term stiffness. A variety of rehab products are designed specifically to aid in ROM exercises, targeting different areas of the body. Here, we’ll take a closer look at three of the most effective tools: Over-Door Shoulder Pulley Exercisers, Shoulder Finger Ladders, and Upper Body ROM Exercisers. These ROM rehab products are great for doing full range of motion exer …

Accurately assessing the range of motion (ROM) of patients is crucial for physical therapists to make informed clinical decisions and develop effective treatment plans. However, challenges often arise in pinpointing specific anatomical landmarks necessary for precise goniometric measurements. This can lead to inaccuracies in determining the stationary arm, movement arm, and axis, hindering the reliability of the assessment.To overcome these challenges, physical therapists can utilize specialized …

Physical therapists are dedicated professionals who specialize in restoring movement, function, and quality of life for individuals with musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, or disabilities. Central to their practice is the use of various tools and techniques to assess and improve joint mobility. Among these tools, goniometers play a pivotal role in quantifying and monitoring the range of motion (ROM) at different joints in the body. In this article, we explore the multifaceted applic …

Joint Range of Motion (ROM) measurement is a fundamental aspect of musculoskeletal assessment in various medical fields, including orthopedics, physical therapy, and rehabilitation medicine. Accurate ROM assessment provides valuable information about the flexibility, mobility, and overall health of joints. This aids in diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring progress. One of the key tools used for ROM measurement is the inclinometer, a device designed to precisely measure angles. In t …
