Analiza zakresu ruchu wyprostu w stawie ramienno-łopatkowym przy użyciu aplikacji Goniometr v 1.0-badania pilotażowe
Journal Title: Medical Science Pulse - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Manual examination is performed in isolated positions in order to pinpoint the exact location of the impaired structure. The established range of motion standards for particular joints constitute a key diagnostic element, which can be referred to when examining a patient. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the range of motion in extension in the glenohumeral joint, using the tele-information application Goniometr v.1.0. Material and methods: The study population consisted of 20 healthy subjects, 10 women and 10 men, aged between 18 and 31 years old (24.4±4.46). Their range of extension in the glenohumeral joint was measured using the Goniometer v.1.0 application. The measurements were performed by 3 independent researchers. Statistica v.10 program was used for data analysis. Results: The mean range of extension in the glenohumeral joint during palpation of the superior angle of the scapula was: for researcher A: 7.59±1.20; for researcher B: 8.12±1.11; and for researcher C: 7.05±1.08 degree; while the inferior angle of scapula palpation was: 7.19±1.23; 7.20±1.29 and 7.30±1.13 degree for researchers A, B and C, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the measurements from the three researchers (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The range of movement in extension in the glenohumeral joint measured with the Goniometer v.1.0 application in the study group was 7–8 degrees. Palpation of the inferior angle yielded higher scores of standard deviations that could indicate palpation makes it easier to feel the movement of the superior angle during the extension motion of the shoulder
