Baseline 6-Inch Plastic Goniometer

The Baseline 6-Inch Plastic Goniometer offers a simple way to measure the range of motion (ROM) at smaller joints like the wrists and ankles. This handy measuring tool is perfect for use by physical therapists for monitoring patient recovery, and offers linear scales of measurement in both centimetres and inches.

What's Included?

• 1 x 360° Plastic Goniometer

How Does the 6" Goniometer Work?

Goniometers are a measuring tool used to calculate the range of motion (ROM) at a joint. There are different sizes of goniometer, each useful for measuring the ROM at various joints. This 6" tool is ideal for assessing smaller joint locations, such as the wrists and ankles.

This handy measuring tool can be used to measure both the active joint range, when a patient bends or straightens their own joints, and the passive joint range whereby the bending or stretching is done by an external force. To effectively measure joint motion, the goniometer features one stationary and one moving arm.

Who Can Use the Goniometer?

Goniometers are ideal for use by physiotherapists as a way to gather information about a patient's baseline ROM, and to monitor the progress of the joint range during recovery from injuries.

Although it is possible to measure and track your own ROM with a goniometer, we recommend that you allow a medical professional to do this. This will help to avoid inaccurate measurements, and ensure complete clarification on what the ideal range for your joints is.
