This transparent plastic goniometer permits observation of a joint’s axis of motion and its range of motion. The unique design adds a white line behind the measurement gradations to make the readings even easier to read. The primary purpose of this device is to assist in physical therapy by determining range of motion of a joint as well as evaluating and gauging recovery after surgery or physical therapy. The 180 degree head has three scales calibrated to be used with the ISOM (International Standards of Measurement, STFR) system. The arms are 6″. The goniometer lets you measure joint limits and range-of-motion as well as check extension, flexion, abduction, adduction and rotation. The arms have a linear scale in both inches and centimeters. The 180 degree angle scale reads in 1 degree increments.
