The Absolute+Axis (AA) goniometer establishes a "true" vertical or horizontal to the start point of a measurement. Many goniometric 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 practitioner had to "assume" or "eyeball" the vertical or horizontal position. This interpolation is often incorrect and introduces measurement error. The Absolute+Axis goniometer removes measurement variability and allows the practitioner to concentrate on correct placement of the other goniometer arm and the patient's body position. Some measurements the AA goniometer is designed to improve are: shoulder and hip rotation (internal, external); cervical flexion, extension, rotation and side bending; hamstring flexibility; and active ROM.
Bubble Inclinometer is used to measure range-of-motion (ROM). Standards are codified in the AMA Guide to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, third edition. Place inclinometer near joint to be measured; turn dial until scale reads 0; take joint through its range; read range traveled directly from dial. Some neck and back measurement protocols require the simultaneous use of 2 inclinometers.
AcuAngle Inclinometer with adjustable feet is used to measure range-of-motion (ROM). Standards are codified in the AMA Guide to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, third edition. Place inclinometer near joint to be measured; turn dial until scale reads 0; take joint through its range; read range traveled directly from dial. Adjustable feet along scale (side-to-side) adapt to body contours. Some neck and back measurement protocols require the simultaneous use of 2 inclinometers.
Digital Inclinometer with fixed feet is used to measure range-of-motion (ROM). Place inclinometer near the joint to be measured; press "zero" button; move joint through its range; press the "hold" button. Read measurements on LCD. Uses 1 x 3v CR2032 battery (included). Some neck and back measurement protocols require the simultaneous use of 2 inclinometers.
