Measurement of Joint Motion: A Guide to Goniometry

Summary: Good Golly Miss Molly!!
Review: Check this book out if you want a good book to teach you how to measure joint motion. I still have an earlier version of this book I got in PT school and keep it on my desk- good as a reference for those joints you rarely measure but crop up now and then. I give it 5 stars. Also check out "The Multifidus Back Pain Solution" if you treat a lot of back pain patients.

Review: I got an earlier edition of this book in Physical Therapy school and it was invaluable in teaching the finer points of goniometry. I constantly used it as a source of information, until I became comfortable with measuring joint range of motion. Since I am now working in the inpatient arena, I mostly repeatedly measure knees, but refer back to it when I need to brush up on another joint. It has clear pictures and overall is a great reference book for anyone who has to evaluate joint ranges of motion.
