Various methods are used to measure hip and knee joint motion angles; however, their use
is often limited by cost or inability to measure dynamic movements. The assessment of …

Abstract The Safe Functional Motion (SFM) test is a performance-based tool developed to
assess functional movements in individuals at risk for osteoporotic fracture. The purpose of …

Background:'Unsafe'movement strategies used to perform everyday activities were
quantified using scores for tasks included in the Short Form Safe Functional Motion test …

Abstract Background and Purpose. Low bone mass of the proximal femur is a risk factor for
hip fractures. Exercise has been shown to reduce bone loss in older individuals; however …

Context: Three dimensional, passive motion analysis systems allow researchers to non-
invasively, yet thoroughly, examine the biomechanics of patients with many different …

The Safe Functional Motion Test (SFM-5) is a five item performance based clinical
assessment tool quantifying habitual daily movement that may increase the risk of …

The association between posture and physical function during daily activities in people at
risk for osteoporotic fracture is not clear. We report the reliability of measuring posture using …

Background: Range of motion is an essential component of the hip examination. Handling
issues with the goniometer often create challenges when measuring hip passive range of …

Background: Accurate range of motion (ROM) assessment is an essential component of
clinical practice to identify underlying deficits at the hip joint. Hip joint active ROM has been …

Osteoporosis is considered a major public health problem worldwide. In order to develop
effective physical exercise protocols for the prevention of osteoporosis and ensure skeletal …
