    • Ulnohumeral: Elbow flexed 90 degrees, forearm supinated 5 degrees
    • Radiohumeral: Extension
    • Proximal radioulnar: 5 degrees of supination
    • Distal radioulnar: 5 degrees of supination
    • Radiocarpal (wrist): Extension with radial deviation
    • Metacarpophalangeal: Full flexion
    • Carpometacarpal: Full opposition
    • Interphalangeal: Full extension
    • Hip: Full extension, internal rotation, and abduction

    • Radiocarpal (wrist): Neutral with slight ulnar deviation
    • Carpometacarpal: Midway between abduction-adduction and flexion-extension
    • Metacarpophalangeal: Slight flexion
    • Interphalangeal: Slight flexion
    • Hip: 10-30 degrees of flexion, 10-30 degrees of abduction, and 0-5 degrees of external rotation
    • Talocrural (ankle): 25 degrees of flexion, 10 degrees of plantar flexion, midway between maximum inversion and eversion
    • Subtalar: Midway between extremes of range of movement
    • Midtarsal: Midway between extremes of range of movement
