There was a significant difference in the functional range of motion between the joints of the fingers, with the ulnar digits having greater active and functional range.
This represents 48%, 59%, and 60% of the active motion of these joints, respectively. The functional range of motion was 19°-71°, 23°-87°, and 10°-64° at the metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and distal interphalangeal joints, respectively.
#RANGE OF MOTION CHART PLUS#
As I’ve explained in earlier articles my TKR was a result of sports injuries suffered 40 plus years ago. This article shares my range of motion progress after total knee replacement surgery as well as my timeline and range of motion goals. The functional range of motion was defined as the range required to perform 90% of the activities, utilizing the pre-grasp and grasp measurements. Range of motion will be a term you hear time and time again in the days and weeks following TKR surgery. The position of each finger joint was evaluated in the pre-grasp and grasp positions. The active and passive range of motion was measured with a computerized electric goniometer. Using the Sollerman hand grip function test, 20 activities were assessed in ten volunteers. Knee flexion is frequently assessed following TKA and is widely cited in postoperative protocols as a marker of progress throughout recovery 3, 15. The purpose of this study was to measure the functional range of motion of the finger joints needed to perform activities of daily living. The goal of this study was to develop and validate a reference chart with clinically collected data, to inform monitoring of knee flexion active range of motion (AROM) following TKA surgery.
