What is Computer Range of Motion Testing?
Range of motion is the primary and fundamental assessment of patients suffering from musculoskeletal injuries. It is the measurement of the achievable distance or angle between the flexed and the extended positions of a particular joint or muscle group.
How can Computer Range of Motion Testing help you?
Numerous decisions regarding patient status and treatment are based wholly or in part on joint motion measurements. This highly accurate testing is commonly used to determine the extent of limited range of motion in order to help properly diagnose the patient’s disorder, as well as, to determine the effectiveness of treatment.
Limited range of motion can result from: mechanical problems, muscle spasticity, joint pain, inflammation, swelling, infection, injury, and disease.
