1)
Position the subject’s shoulder in abduction at 90 degrees with the elbow and forearm in
neutral position.
2) Attach the distal endblock to the forearm with the center axis of the endblock coincident with
the center axis of the forearm.
3) With the elbow at neutral, move the goniometer to position 2 (maximum length) and attach
the proximal endblock to the upper arm with the center of the endblock and the center axis of
the upper arm coincident.
4) The elbow may be fully flexed and extended with the distal endblock freely sliding between
positions 1 and 2.
5) The distal endblock should be mounted near the elbow joint. Movements of pronation and
supination may be made and will only affect the measurement of flexion/extension minimally.
