Goniometry is one of the most common techniques for measuring joint range of motion (ROM). Throughout the measurement, the physical therapist must observe: 1) patient position; 2) normal range of joint motion; 3) axis position; 4) position of the fixed arm; 5) position of the movable arm.


Based on the methodological sequence presented for measuring the external rotation movement of the shoulder, choose the correct option.


A

supine position, 0° to 60° of ROM, medial epicondyle of the humerus, medial surface of the arm along its longitudinal axis and medial surface of the forearm, along its longitudinal axis


B

dorsal decubitus position, 0° to 60° of ROM, olecranon, parallel to the ground, posterior compartment of the forearm directed towards the third finger of the hand


C

ventral decubitus position, 0° to 90° of ROM, olecranon, parallel to the ground, anterior (volar) compartment of the forearm directed towards the third finger of the hand


D

dorsal decubitus position, 0° to 90° of ROM, olecranon, parallel to the ground, posterior compartment (extensor compartment) of the forearm directed towards the third finger of the hand
