1. A number of differences were discovered when comparing our experimental
measurments
with the norm. Several of these consists of the following:
In our experiment the subjects joint flexibility differed from the norm in every category. This
can be attributed to the prevalance of soft or rigid tissue surrounding the joint. The
aformentioned tissue may be present in particular joints of the body but not neccessary all
which results in a limitation of movement.For instance our subject measured 100 degrees
with respect to his knee joint, in comparison to the norm he has a reduced range of joint
motion as opposed to the norm which stands at 150 degrees. A secondary element
explaining a disparity between the norm and my subject is the shape of the articular
surfaces of the bones. The majority of the main joint areas measured in our subject
indicated less flexibility versus the norm. I infer my subjects articular cartilage is weaker
then the norm The articular cartilage cushions and protects the bones and my subjects
possibly is suffering from diminished articular cartilage. It's also a possibility that my
subjects ligaments are restraining the movement of the joints - this can occur when a
persons ligaments are shorter than the average persons; since the ligaments are located
around the joint this can have a direct effect on the range of motion of a joint. An injury to
the ligament can greatly influence the movement of a joint due to the stability role of the
ligament which supports the joint. Another key factor which can be applicable in my
subjects case is excercise. It has been proven that the outcome of excersising a muscle
can have a large effect on a persons flexibility. In our case I can deduce our subject may
not participate in strenght training excercises as frequently as the average person thus
decreasing his flexibility. The lack of excercise consequently can cause a joint and muscle
to deterioriate. Finally numerous other differences can be linked to the differential in
measurements; the apposition of bulky tissue which restrics joint flexibility due to thich
muscle or excessive fat, gender of the subject (s ) body build, heredity, occupation and
age.
2. Factors effecting the R.O.M are multiple. They are comprised of soft or rigid tissue
surrounding the joint presenting a barrier to full flexibility. This is caused by either a lack of
strenght in the muscle tissues or conversely an excessive amount of strenght within the
tissues consequently impeding flexibility. Additionaly, as mentioned above the shape of
the articular surfaces of the bones can have a effect on R.O.M due to a degeneration of
the cartilage cushioning the bone - when this occurs arthritis is imminent or existent.
Restraining effects of ligaments is another factor effecting R.O.M. In the event an
individual has shorter ligaments or an injury to the ligament itself, a persons flexibility is
decreased; this is because the ligaments are situated near the joints. Excersise or lack of
excercise can impact range of motion in that avid excercisers enjoy more flexibility
whereas people who fail to excercise regularly suffer from muscle and joint degeneration.
Excercise results in increased blood flow to the muscle and joints. The apposition of bulky
tissues such as muscle and fat can also bear upon R.O.M. Bulky muscles limit flexion as
does excessive fatty tissue. Age can affect the range of motion due to changes in
connective tissues; these changes include : loss of suppleness due to the replacement of
muscle fibers with fatty collageneous fibers, a change of the chemical structure of the
tissues as we age. The remaining factors are gender, occupation, injury, heredity, state of
physical fitness and body build
3 An external force pushing on the body around the joint. For example, a physical
therapist who is attempting to aid a patient, an opponent or a piece of equipment such as
the continous passive motion machine which provides prescribed, slow and gentle passive
range of motion. Frequent use of this machine greatly reduces pain and discomfort within
the joints. The physical therapist utilizing passive ROM enables the patient to achieve
overall mobility post injury or surgery.
4. For the most part the goniometer supplies accurate measurment readings in the event
the anatomical landmark being measured is specifically defined coupled with the examiner
locating the joint correctly. However, in certain instances such as when the bony
landmarks are not well defined stemming from excess soft tissue coverage or other
causes. Alternatively, if the goniometer axis is not properly positioned over the joint axis -
this may result in an inaccurate reading. To heighten the accuracy all joints being
measured should be stabilized. Innovative methods like digital measuring has been used
recently
