[Book Description]

Cynthia C. Norkin and D. Joyce White's highly respected, standard-setting manual teaches students to perform goniometry properly as a clinical skill and contains scores of exercises that reinforce good technique. Every testing procedure is detailed in a two-page spread for ease of reference, with color added to enhance headings, charts, and tables. This third edition, including an abundance of new photographs, has been updated to be consistent with the APTA's Guide to Physical Therapist Practice terminology.
