Σύνοψη	Goniometry is the standardized clinical measurement of joint angles using a goniometer (angle-measuring instrument) to quantify range of motion in degrees. Developed from orthopedic assessment traditions, goniometric measurement is a fundamental skill in physical therapy, occupational therapy, and orthopedic medicine for baseline assessment, monitoring progression, and documenting rehabilitation outcomes.	Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are electrodiagnostic tests measuring electrical activity in muscles and nerves, providing objective data on neuromuscular function. These tests identify pathology in motor neurons, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junctions, and muscles, helping clinicians diagnose conditions like peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, radiculopathy, and motor neuron disease when clinical examination is inconclusive.
