How Much Range of Motion Should You Have? Normative Values (Upper Body) | Aleks Physio
Hi everyone!
In this video I go over the range of motion normative values for the entire upper body, including:
neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, fingers and thumb.
There is some variability in these normative values, depending which research you look at. (I used the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)
These numbers give you an idea of expectations for where you should be, barring any injuries, pain, surgeries and/or other medical conditions.
Other factors that can influence your individual results are: age, sex and weight.
A goniometer is a standard tool used to measure range of motion.
