Abstract
Introduction. Studying changes of motion ranges in time by means of electrogoniometers provides valuable and clinically meaningful data. The aim of the present thesis was an analysis of the kinematic parameters of the elbow joint in the sagittal plane while performing motor tasks imitating simple activities of everyday life.
Material and methods. The research group included 50 randomly selected people, aged 21-25 years old. The study, carried out with the use of Noraxon 1400 L system as well as compatible biaxial electrogoniometers, required the participants to perform a specified sequence of motor tasks: 1. Placing the hand on a table. 2. Placing the hand on a box. 3. Lifting a cup to the mouth. 4. Wiping the face with a tissue. 5. Combing hair. 6. Placing the forearm sideways on a table. The data was compiled by means of The Smart Analyzer program while the statistical analysis was carried out via the statistical program Statistica 6.0 PL.
Results and conclusions. The research showed a statistically significant correlation between gender and the mean values of the motion range in elbow joint during performed movements. There was no statistically significant relation noted between gender and other studied parameters.

Key words:
range of mobility, biaxial electrogoniometer, elbow joint
