🧭 What It Does

• Measures the angle created by the bones forming a joint.

• Helps assess joint mobility, stiffness, or improvement during rehabilitation.

• Can be used to track progress after injury, surgery, or therapy.

🛠️ Key Features of a Medical Goniometer

1. Protractor-Style Design

• Typically has a circular or semicircular head with degree markings from 0° to 180° or 360°.

• Functions like a protractor to measure joint angles accurately.

2. Arms (Stationary and Movable)

• Two arms: one remains fixed (stationary), and the other rotates (movable) with the limb.

• Arms are usually transparent for easy alignment with anatomical landmarks.

3. Degree Markings

• Marked in 1° increments for precision.

• High-contrast markings improve visibility and reduce reading errors.

4. Material

• Commonly made from plastic, metal, or composite materials.

• Plastic goniometers are lightweight and portable.

• Metal goniometers are more durable and used in more demanding environments.

5. Size Variants

• Full-size (12–14 inches): for large joints like the hip, knee, and shoulder.

• Pocket or small goniometers: for smaller joints like the fingers, wrist, or ankle.

• Digital goniometers: offer electronic angle readings and improved accuracy.

6. Portability

• Lightweight and easy to carry in a medical bag.

• Many come with cases for protection.

📌 Common Uses

• Measuring joint range of motion in:

  • Rehabilitation after surgery or injury (e.g., ACL reconstruction).

  • Assessment of conditions like arthritis, contractures, or stroke.

  • Pre- and post-treatment evaluations.

• Used in sports medicine to assess athlete readiness and function.
