Normative values and cut off points for conversion of angular into Active Movement Scores
| Active Movement Score cut-offs | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Direction of movement | Norm* – Maximal range (95% CI) | Motion ≤ 1/2 range | Motion > 1/2 range | Full motion |
| Elbow flexion | 145.4° (144.0°–146.8°) | ≤ 71.1° | 71.2–143.9° | ≥ 144.0° |
| Elbow extension | 0.6° (0.1°–1.7°) | ≥ 71.2° | 1.8°–71.1° | ≤ 1.7° |
| Shoulder abduction | 185.4° (184.4°–186.4°) | ≤ 92.1° | 92.2°–184.3° | ≥184.4° |
| Shoulder flexion | 168.4° (167.4°–169.4°) | ≤ 83.6° | 83.7–167.3° | ≥ 167.4° |
