Only two evaluations are necessary, those delimiting the pain-free part of the motion from the rest. The practitioner only needs evaluating motions at two different sessions: the report examiner will easily determine how much progress has been realized by the patient between two specific dates. Furthermore it is important to notice that the angle is given with respect of the position at rest.
