End feel (the sensation felt when applying a gentle pressure at the end of a joint/range of motion) Strength of associated muscles: active range of motion: Achieved by the patients own muscle contraction. The range of motion for a patients arm. The clinician takes motion beyond a muscles ability to move the joint. The end of the prom is determined by a physiological/elastic barrier regarding the degree, quality of motion and end-feel symptoms. Accessory motion: motion between adjacent joint surfaces (roll, glide and spin) This motion cannot occur independently or voluntarily and if restricted can limit physiological movement: active range of motion measurements: Rotation (axial rotation: considerations about a patient when analysing their arom: Depends on year of publish and sample size. Why are the ranges different between lumbar and cervical.
