Document Summary
Rom: elbow flexion (0-150 ): normal end-feel is soft *(hard if no muscle bulk: patient position: supine - shoulder is positioned in zero degrees of flexion, extension, abduction and rotation (close to the side of the body). Elbow starts in extension: place a pad under the distal end of the humerus to allow full elbow extension (include hyperextension). Elbow extension is not usually measured it is the starting position for elbow flexion. L elbow flexion prom ___________, ______end feel (hyperextension neutral full flexion) In muscles testing gr 2 and below, ensure weight of limb is appropriately supported and. Criteria fo r assign in g a muscle test. Able to complete full available arom against gravity and withstand strong (maximal) resistance. Able to complete full available arom against gravity; muscle gives or yields to some extent with strong/maximal resistance. Able to complete full available arom against only the resistance of gravity. Able to complete full arom in a position that.
