title: A proposed method of goniometric measurement of the dart-throwers motion.
abstract: In recent years, the dart-throwing motion (DTM) has been described in the literature as the movement pattern in the wrist where many functional activities occur. As therapists, we are trained in measuring wrist flexion, extension, radial deviation, and ulnar deviation, but measuring the DTM has not been described. This author describes a method for measuring the DTM in the clinic. -Victoria Priganc, PhD, OTR, CHT, CLT, Practice Forum Editor.
