Absolute+Axis goniometer digital
Details
Manygoniometric measurements require one arm of the goniometer to be positioned either horizontally or vertically. The other arm is then lined-up with the patient's body part. Until now, the practioner had to ässume" or "eyeball" the vertical or horizontal position. This interpolation is often incorrect and introduces measurement error.
The Absolute+Axis (AA) goniometer removes the "assume" and "eyeball" by establishing a "true" vertical or horizontal. The Absolute+Axis removes measurement variability and allows the practioner to concentrate on correct placement of the other goniometer arm and the patient's body position.
By pressing the hold button you can "freeze" the angle reading. The reading will not change even when the "arms" of the goniometer are moving until you again press the hold button.
Some measurement the AA goniometer is designed to improve are:
- Shoulder and hip rotation (internal and external);
- Cervical flexion;
- Extension;
- Rotation;
- Side bending;
- Hamstring flexibility;
- Active ROM
