Description
A goniometer is a device that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position.
How to use a goniometer.
Position and stabilize the joint correctly. Move a body part through its appropriate range of motion (ROM). Determine the joint’s end of the range of motion and end-feel. Palpate the appropriate bony landmarks.
A goniometer has two “arms”—one that is stationary and one that is movable—that are hinged together. Each is positioned at specific points on the body with the center of the goniometer aligned at the joint of interest.
