Goniometers

Goniometers are commonly used tools in physical therapy for measuring the range of motion (ROM) of various joints in the body. These instruments consist of two arms and a protractor-like scale, allowing therapists to accurately measure the angle of a joint's movement. Goniometers play a crucial role in musculoskeletal assessment, rehabilitation, and treatment planning by providing quantitative data on joint flexibility, mobility, and function.

Goniometers are versatile tools that play a vital role in physical therapy practice by facilitating accurate measurement and assessment of joint ROM. By quantifying movement parameters, goniometers assist therapists in diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions, planning and monitoring treatment interventions, and promoting optimal recovery and functional outcomes for their patients.
