Similar to a protractor, a goniometer is an instrument for measuring angles; however, it is made expressly to measure the angles at body joints. A goniometer is a tool that can be used to rotate an object to a specific position or measure an angle.
The former description more accurately describes orthopaedics. Goniometry is the art and science of determining the joint ranges in each plane of the joint.
A goniometer is a unique tool used in a radar set to determine the elevation angle of an incoming echo signal. The height of the aircraft that produced the echo signal can then be determined using the elevation angle and the measured distance.
An instrument known as a contact angle is used in surface science. The static contact angle, advancing and receding contact angles, and occasionally surface tension are all measured using goniometers or tensiometers.
The pivot of the goniometer should be positioned in the middle of the elbow joint. Set a goniometer arm parallel to the ground. Align the other goniometer arm such that it is parallel to the ulna’s longitudinal axis.
The Global Goniometer Sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Twin-Axis Goniometers detect angles in up to two planes of motion simultaneously. The Goniometer’s endblocks are placed on the dorsal surface of the wrist in neutral position, with one end over the third metacarpal and the other over the midline of the forearm.
One output connector of a goniometer measures flexion/extension, while the other measures radial/ulnar deviation. Simply connect one channel for measuring a twin-axis joint or a single plane of a single-axis joint, such as the knee or elbow.
Ankle goniometer with twin axes particularly made to assess the motion of the ankle in two planes. The SG110/A attaches to the lateral aspect of the ankle and measures both ankle inversion and eversion as well as dorsiflexion and plantarflexion at the same time.
The customers’ preferred option for the goniometer positioning has long been on the side. Customers who want posterior placement on the ankle can alternatively choose the conventional SG110.
The Single-Axis Goniometer from Biometrics measures angles only in one plane. This smallest goniometer, which is available as a wireless (F35W) or wired (F35) sensor, is made to measure the flexion and extension of finger joints.
