Assessment of joint mobility according to Hippocrates

Doctors do not always have modern methods of research, such as radiography, tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. These innovations, undoubtedly, help to put the correct diagnosis and find the cause of the disease, but in our time the physician should know the methods of study, developed by Hippocrates, and be able to use your five senses.

Pretty simple to figure out the joint, even using a goniometer and other equipment, if you imagine the human body as a self-balancing system. This system is able to function by itself, without a single tool. You need to go back to Hippocrates!

CONSIDER THE SHOULDER JOINT

 

 

With regard to flexion (Fig. 119, 120) need to remember:

• when the fingers are in the mouth area (Fig. 119), flexion of the shoulder joint is 45°. This movement is necessary to supply;

• when the arm is at the top of the skull (Fig. 120), flexion of the shoulder joint is 120°. This movement is necessary to perform personal toilet, combing hair, for example.

Thirty eight million five hundred ninety nine thousand three hundred thirty four

With regard to extension (Fig. One hundred eighteen):

• when the hand is located on the crest of the Ilium, the angle of extension of the shoulder joint is 40-45°.

Abstraction (Fig. 121, 122):

• when the hand is located on the crest of the Ilium, the humerus in place against the torso at 45° (Fig. One hundred twenty one);

• when the fingers are located at the top of the skull (Fig. 122), abduction of the shoulder joint is 120°. This movement is done during grooming, for example.

This method is applicable to studies of mobility of almost all joints. published
