Great book
"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."
Measurements made easy "This book is helpful because there are actual photographs that show you how to measure various ROM's. No confusing drawings. just pictures. So helpful. They also do a great job of summarizing the most important tips for each joint (i.e. normal ROM's, where to place the goni, etc.)"

Great text. Lots of excellent info. And perhaps the best thing, normative values and ROMs. I have an older version. The newer is probably even better.
