  • summary of goniometry references

    All-

    I apologise for my delinquency in posting this summary.
    I originally asked the list for references to textbooks covering the area of
    goniometry.
    Thank you to everyone that replied.

    ***

    The book I use for my students is Measurement of joint Motion: a
    buide to goniometry. second edition. Norkin, C. and White D. F.A.
    Davis. There are others but this is in my opinion the best. Hope it
    helps.

    ***

    Try the following 2 sources:
    Clarkson, H. M., and Gilewich, G. B., 1989 Musculoskeletal Assessment:
    Joint Range of Motion and Manual Muscle Strength, London: Williams & Wilkins
    or
    Norkin, C.C., and White, D. J., 1985 Measurement of Joint Motion: A Guide
    to Goniometry, Philadelphia, PA: F.A. Davis Co.

    I believe the authors' names are Norkin and White. Their textbook is about
    goniometry. I believe they have compiled more goniometric literature into
    one textbook than any other authors. Good luck.

    1. Cynthia C. Norkin & D. Joyce White: Measurement of Joint Motion:
    A Guide to Goniometry. 2nd ed. FA Davis 1995.
    2. M. Lynn Palmer & Marcia Epler: Clinical Assessment Procedures in
    Physical Therapy. JB Lippencott 1990
    There are many more texts in this area, but again, these are two I think may
    provide the most references for you. I am unsure what your purpose is, but
    good luck. If I could be of more service, let me know.

    The following book is a comprehensive guide to goniometers (as
    opposed to "electro"goniometers):
    Measurement of Joint Motion: A guide to Goniometry, 2nd edition
    CC Norkin & DJ White
    FA Davis Company, Philadelphia, 1995, ISBN 0-8036-6579-2
    If you intend to use the book for a course you may be able to
    get a complimentary asessment copy from the distributors:
    Waverly Europe Ltd, Broadway House, 2-6 Fulham Broadway,
    London SW16 1AA, UK. Tel 071 385 2357.
    For goniometers & electrogoniometers the following review is
    a useful starting point:
    Nicol AC (1989). Measurement of joint motion. Clin Rehabil, 31-9.

    I found a few references that might be useful.
    -"Measurement of joint motion: a guide to goniometry" C. Norkin and D. White
    -"brunnstrom's Clinical Kinesiology" by Smith, Weiss and Lehmkuhl

    Both of these are currently available form F.A. Davis publishers. Their
    phone number is (800)323-3555 or try (215) 440-3001. They're located in
    Philadelphia, PA (here in the U.S.A>.
