Precision Goniometer for Measuring Range of Motion
The Precision Goniometer for Measuring Range of Motion offers precise range of motion measurements, documenting your body’s unrestricted movement. It aids in assessing the necessary therapy level post-injury or surgery to restore optimal flexibility in your motion.
What’s Included?
1 x Goniometer
What Is a Goniometer Used For?
A goniometer is a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position. It is mostly used in orthopaedics to determine a body’s range of motion.
What Is Range of Motion (ROM)?
Range of motion is the capability of a joint to go through its complete spectrum of movements. It can be passive or active. Passive range of motion can be defined as what is achieved when an outside force, such as a therapist, causes movement of a joint.
How Do You Measure Range of Motion (ROM)?
A goniometer is the most common tool for measuring range of motion (ROM) of the joints of the body. It uses a stationary arm, fulcrum, and movement arm to measure joint angles from the axis of the joint.
Why Do I Need to Know My Range of Motion?
In order to perform your day to day activities with ease, your joints need to be free to move without restriction. Simply being able to go for a walk or climbing stairs requires you to have adequate ROM at your ankles, knees, and hips.
