Multivariate shoulder and spine relationship using planar range of motion assessment

CONTEXT: Goniometry and posture are commonly used metrics in clinical assessment of the shoulder and spine. When both the shoulder and spine are assessed individually using these techniques, there are structural and functional musculoskeletal relationships between the two anatomical regions that may be overlooked. OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationships between and within the shoulder and spine as measured by active range of motion (ROM) and …
