Long Plastic Goniometer (32cm)

Our Long Plastic Goniometer is a medical device used primarily by physical therapists, occupational therapists, orthopaedists, and other healthcare professionals to measure the range of motion (ROM) in a patient’s joints. Here are some key uses and benefits of a long plastic goniometer:

1. Measuring Joint Angles: The primary function of a goniometer is to measure the angle of a joint in degrees. This measurement helps assess the joint’s range of motion. It can also be used for issues in various joints, including the knee, elbow, shoulder, hip, and wrist.

2. Assessing Flexibility and Mobility: By measuring the ROM, therapists can assess a patient’s flexibility and mobility. This is important for diagnosing conditions, planning treatment, and tracking progress over time.

3. Evaluating Injury and Recovery: Goniometers are used to evaluate the extent of joint injuries and to monitor recovery. Comparing ROM measurements taken before and after treatment helps determine the effectiveness of interventions.

4. Tracking Progress: Regular use of a goniometer allows healthcare providers to track a patient’s progress throughout rehabilitation.

5. Post-Surgical Assessment: After surgical procedures involving joints, such as knee or hip replacements, goniometers help measure recovery and rehabilitation progress, ensuring that patients regain optimal function.
