| Popis: | This study had three purposes: to compare the active neck and upper extremity range of motion (ROM) in healthy older women with expected estimates; to consider if right and left side measures were similar; and to determine the degree of ROM loss with advancing age. Sixty-one older women, living independently in the community, were measured at the neck, shoulder, elbow, forearm, and wrist on the right and left sides using a standard protocol. ROM was less than expected by 14_ to 30_ for neck lateral flexion (26.00_ ▪8.72_ on right; 26.41_ ▪7.67_ on left), shoulder abduction (154.62_D 21.37_ on right; 150.25_ ▪21.65_ on left), shoulder flexion (158.23_ ▪19.55_ on right; 159.20_ ▪8.73_ on left), shoulder internal rotation (52.92_ ▪8.99_ on right; 53.74_ ▪9.94_ on left), and shoulder external rotation (76.05_ ▪16.31_ on right; 72.44_ ▪15.37 on left). Some differences were noted between right and left side ROM. Linear regression for age and range suggested that range decreased with age by an average of approxi... |
