I got an earlier edition of this book in Physical Therapy school and it was invaluable in teaching the finer points of goniometry. I constantly used it as a source of information, until I became comfortable with measuring joint range of motion. Since I am now working in the inpatient arena, I mostly repeatedly measure knees, but refer back to it when I need to brush up on another joint. It has clear pictures and overall is a great reference book for anyone who has to evaluate joint ranges of motion.

This book is a great guide to goniometry. I especially love the Appendix that has all the normal values. It's a must have for anyone starting out in physical therapy.

This is an excellent as easily describes how to do ROM of all sorts of joints. A great book for a student and practitioner that needs to look up the more obscure joints. It has tables as well for normal ROM. You can't go wrong with this one.

This is an excellent reference book for the classes that I am taking. It is very detailed.

I had to buy 3 text books for a kinesiology class and this one is my favorite. It covers the hands-on portion of kinesiology and is very easy to interpret.

This textbook was required for an assessment class for a physical therapist assistant program. It is thorough in explanations of position, alignment, stabilization, etc. and provides photographs of the different motions being measured. I would recommend it as a guide to learn how to measure joint motion.

This is a new study for me and I am learning as I read. A bit technical, but I expected that. Would like to have an expert work with me to make the process managable. Most of my clients, I am massage therapist, don't see the need for the measurements, but I know that it helps me. I learn as I go.

I was so surprised about the paper quality. It's look like a yellow pages. It is not a tradicional book, it is bookbinding.
