Universal Data Collection (UDC) Joint Range of Motion Video
Introduction
This module provides a brief introduction to what the tape is about
and why it is important to accurately measure and collect joint
range of motion.
Getting Started
This module lists the things to have on hand before viewing the
measurement techniques in the demonstration video such as the UDC
Joint Range of Motion Reference Guide, the UDC Annual Visit Form,
the goniometer specified in the Reference Guide, and if possible a
practice patient.
Annual Visit Form and Definitions
This module provides a review of the annual visit form and
definitions for recording joint range of motion measurements.
The Goniometer
This module provides an introduction to the device used to measure a
joint’s range of motion. The parts of the goniometer are described
as well as how to use the goniometer to take accurate readings of
joint range of motion.
ROM Measurement Procedures: Hip Extension
This module provides a demonstration of the proper way to measure
hip extension.
ROM Measurement Procedures: Hip Flexion
This module provides a demonstration of the proper way to measure
hip flexion.
ROM Measurement Procedures: Knee Flexion and Extension
This module provides a demonstration of the proper way to measure
knee flexion and extension.
ROM Measurement Procedures: Shoulder Flexion
This module provides a demonstration of the proper way to measure
shoulder flexion.
ROM Measurement Procedures: Elbow Flexion and Extension
This module provides a demonstration of the proper way to measure
elbow flexion and extension.
ROM Measurement Procedures: Elbow Pronation and Supination
This module provides a demonstration of the proper way to measure
elbow pronation and supination.
ROM Measurement Procedures: Ankle Dorsiflexion and Plantar Flexion
This module provides a demonstration of the proper way to measure
ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion.
Conclusion
This module concludes the joint range of motion demonstration video,
provides key points to remember, and explains how the joint range of
motion data collected for UDC will be used by CDC to develop and
evaluate interventions designed to reduce joint disease.
