The value of measuring the elbow joint rang of motion with four-point method
Abstract：Objective This article studied the validity and reliability of the four-point method which measure the elbow joint range of motion. Methods Thirty volunteers were studied. Take the X-ray irradiation in the active most flexion position of elbow joint. A physiotherapist measured the elbow joint angle on the E-X-ray photograph and the elbow joint angle of most flexion position with the our-point method in the same day,and then did a comparative analysis. Results The four-point method measurement of the most flexion elbow joint of the correlation coefficient (r=0.972,P ＜ 0.01). Conclusion The result of the four-point method is a reliable method, so it is worth popularization and application.
