Measuring Proprioception / Kinesthesia Using 3D Joint ROM

By Insights

Often referred to as the “sixth sense” in humans,  Proprioception is defined as “the sense though which we perceive the position and movement of our body”.

It could further be defined as

“The awareness of the body in space. It is the use of joint position sense and joint motion sense to respond to stresses placed upon the body by alteration of posture and movement.” 

In the past, therapists have been utilised subjective analysis to see whether a patient is able to return a joint to a pre-determined position or starting point.

Therapists can now use the easy-to-set-up 3D Joint ROM tool to test and measure proprioception and feedback to patients in real-time. You can also use the tool to analyse trends – improvement / decline in Proprioception or Kinesthesia across multiple sessions and this could prove valuable in a medico-legal environment.

Measuring Quality of Movement using 3D Joint ROM

By Insights

While Range of Motion (ROM) is an important element to consider for clinicians, the ultimate goal is to measure Quality of Movement.

Our powerful reporting and graphing features allow a therapist to measure and monitor in real-time, the Quality of Movement in real-time.

  • Are the movements smooth or erratic?
  • Is the patient trying to compensate for pain or discomfort by moving the joint through one of the other planes
  • Can you as the clinician identify the exact moment that a patient experiences pain, record that pain marker and revert with objective data to show improvement in quality of movement?

The 3D Joint ROM tool provides a number of features to equip clinicians with the ability to measure the Quality of Movement to demonstrate outcomes or evidence based monitoring and improvement of quality of movement.
