Introduction

This text is intended to guide the health and fitness professional in practicing forms of joint and muscle imbalance assessment.  The assessment proceeds from a technique of angular measurement call goniometry, and the instrument used is called a goniometer.  Information obtained from goniometric assessment, combined with a complete health history and functional movement evaluation, forms the basis for the health and fitness professional's design of a comprehensive training, reconditioning, or rehabilitation program for the subject.
