Absolute+Axis goniometer Hi-Res 30,5cm

Many goniometric measurements require the practitioner to place one arm of the goniometer in either the horizontal or vertical position. The other arm is then lined-up with the patient’s body segment. Until now, the practitioner had to “assume” or “eyeball” the vertical or horizontal position. This interpretation of horizontal or vertical is often incorrect and allows for measurement error.

The Absolute+Axis (AA) goniometer removes the “assume” and “eyeball” by establishing a “true” vertical or horizontal. 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;
• active ROM.
