GONIOMETER is a large armed protractor used for measuring joint angles in PT (physical therapy), occupational therapy, sport medicine, posturology, muscle testing, etc.<\/p>\n

We offer these items to buy:<\/p>\n

1. Set of three goniometers – 12, 8 and 6 inches. This is the most practical choice.
2. Set of two larger goniometers – 12 and 8 inches.
3. One 12 inches goniometer.<\/p>\n

The length of the goniometer arms affect the accuracy of the alignment, so one has to use a relevant size goniometers for different body parts. For example, 8″ tool is suitable for wrist measuring, 6″ instrument is a better choice for measuring smaller joints, e.g., the MCP joints of the hand.<\/p>\n

Practical advice.
The alignment of the arms of the goniometer with the proximal and distal joint segments must be preferred more than placement of the fulcrum over the approximate axis of motion.
The careful alignment of the arms ensures that the fulcrum of the goniometer is located at the axis of motion.<\/p>\n
