Tiivistelmä	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.	Proprioceptive assessment is a bedside neurological examination evaluating the sense of joint position and movement, mediated by mechanoreceptors in muscles, tendons, and joints. Clinical testing of proprioception is essential for comprehensive neurological evaluation in conditions affecting sensory function, coordination, and balance, helping clinicians identify dorsal column disease, peripheral neuropathy, or cerebellar dysfunction.
