     In this group we all collaborated to gather information about how to use a goniometer and take the angle degree of each ROM of the upper extremities, starting from proximal to distal. Each one of our team got a section of the upper extremities. Starting from the shoulder to elbow, forearm, wrist and fingers. We used this method to educate ourselves and others on how to use a goniometer, and at the same time we study, practice, and get proficient using the goniometer. It was great and fun to work as a team; everyone was on the same page collaborating. It was a good experience of active learning. ]]>     2020-12-02 17:32:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kramos223/murb81ckqkz3zlal/wish/980799329     Shoulder Horizontal Adduction https://padlet.com/kramos223/murb81ckqkz3zlal/wish/980932376 (0-130)
