Modification to the conventional wheel for measuring the range of movements of the shoulder joint.
A simple modification to the conventional shoulder wheel is suggested. This would enable both the therapist and the patient to make an objective assessment of the range of movement taking place in a painful and stiff shoulder joint. The most common factors in producing an error in the evaluation of range of movement are trunk movement and shoulder elevation. This modification would help to avoid them. It is cheap and easy to manufacture.
