MTP joint, and its angle is read as a baseline. The client extends (dorsiflexes) the toe maximally, and the

angle subtending the maximum arc of motion is read. Subtract the baseline angle and record the angle of

MP extension.

IP FLEXION: The client is in a seated position. The knee is flexed to 45-degrees and the ankle and

Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint are in the neutral position. The small goniometer is placed over the

MTP joint, and its angle is read as a baseline. The client flexes (plantarflexes) the toe maximally, and the

angle subtending the maximum arc of motion is read. Subtract the baseline angle and record the angle of

MP flexion.

IP EXTENSION: The client is in a seated position. The knee is flexed to 45-degrees and the ankle and

Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint are in the neutral position. The small goniometer is placed under the

MTP joint, and its angle is read as a baseline. The client extends (dorsiflexes) the toe maximally, and the

angle subtending the maximum arc of motion is read. Subtract the baseline angle and record the angle of

MP extension.

Toe Lesser 4

MP FLEXION: The client is in a seated position. The knee is flexed to 45-degrees and the ankle and

Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint are in the neutral position. The small goniometer is placed over the

MTP joint, and its angle is read as a baseline. The client flexes (plantarflexes) the toe maximally, and the

angle subtending the maximum arc of motion is read. Subtract the baseline angle and record the angle of

MP flexion.

Toe Lesser 5

MP FLEXION: The client is in a seated position. The knee is flexed to 45-degrees and the ankle and

Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint are in the neutral position. The small goniometer is placed over the

MTP joint, and its angle is read as a baseline. The client flexes (plantarflexes) the toe maximally, and the

MP flexion.

MP EXTENSTION: The client is in a seated position. The knee is flexed to 45-degrees and the ankle and

Metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint are in the neutral position. The goniometer is placed under the MTP

joint, and its angle is read as a baseline. The client extends (dorsiflexes) the toe maximally, and the

angle subtending the maximum arc of motion is read. Subtract the baseline angle and record the angle of

MP extension.

Shoulder

In assessing motion, the examiner should first observe what an individual can and cannot do by asking

them to move each joint of the extremity, from the shoulder down, through its full range of motion. Both
