Integridad y movilidad de las articulaciones

Abstract

According to the APTA, the category of skeletal integrity and mobility represents the structure and function of the joint, its efficiency significantly influences the physiotherapeutic intervention plan. The purpose of this chapter is to generate an in-depth review of the tests and measures of this category of measurement, being useful for professionals in the area and students in training. Methodology: an in-depth documentary search was carried out that allowed the information available in the search engines to be displayed: Sage Journals, Science Direct, Pubmed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Springer, Scielo, Medigraphic, ResearchGate and Dialnet. being the articles of type: systematic reviews, descriptive and observational studies. To complement information, other documents such as books and research reports useful for anatomical and functional description were used. Results: different tests and measurements were compiled by joint segment, specifying their specificity and sensitivity to assess integrity and mobility. Conclusion: there are few recent studies where the specificity and sensitivity of the tests are evidenced, so it can be inferred that one of the reasons is because the result of each test depends on the execution and expertise of the examiner. Leaving as an invitation the implementation of investigative studies of semiological tests, managing to sustain its applicability precisely
