Abstract
This article compares the results obtained from applying two methods of measuring the range of motion in the upper extremity. From a descriptive, cross-sectional study, measurements were made using the most widely used and traditional method in the health area known as goniometry as well as a semi-automatic method developed using new technological tools. The results demonstrated that the technique has a high sensitivity and can analyze static body positions and movement evolutions, expanding its applicability range.
