Stainless Steel Goniometer with Dual Scales for Joint Measurement

Accurate joint range-of-motion assessment is essential for effective rehabilitation planning and patient progress tracking. This stainless steel goniometer delivers precise angular measurements with dual opposing scales and adjustable tension control, providing physical therapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation specialists with the reliability needed for consistent joint measurement across multiple assessment sessions.

Key Features

• Thumb-controlled tension valve allows clinicians to lock arm position during measurement, ensuring accuracy and preventing shift
• Dual opposing scales on each unit enable angle reading from either side without repositioning the instrument or patient
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and withstands repeated sterilization in clinical environments
• Three size options accommodate assessment of small joints (fingers, toes) through large joints (hips, shoulders, knees)
• 180-degree measurement range covers full flexion and extension angles for comprehensive joint evaluation
• Precision increment markings (1-degree or 5-degree) support documentation requirements for insurance claims and treatment records

Specifications

Ideal For

• Physical therapy clinics performing baseline and follow-up goniometric assessments for treatment plan development
• Occupational therapy practices measuring upper extremity joint angles during functional capacity evaluations
• Hospital rehabilitation departments documenting post-surgical mobility improvements and discharge readiness
• Sports medicine facilities tracking athlete recovery following ligament injuries or joint procedures
• Home health agencies conducting in-home assessments for mobility-impaired patients requiring equipment prescriptions
• Academic training programs teaching proper goniometry technique to physical therapy and occupational therapy students

What's Included

• One stainless steel goniometer in selected size
• Thumb-controlled tension valve mechanism
• Dual opposing measurement scales

Care Instructions

• Clean with 70% isopropyl alcohol or approved medical disinfectant wipes between patient uses
• Sterilize using autoclave methods or cold sterilization solutions suitable for stainless steel instruments
• Dry thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots on measurement scales
• Store in a protective case or designated instrument drawer to prevent arm bending or scale damage
• Inspect thumb valve periodically for smooth operation; tighten if looseness develops
• Avoid dropping on hard surfaces, which may compromise calibration accuracy

FAQs

Q: Which size goniometer should I choose for different joints?

A: The 6" model works best for finger and toe joints, the 8" handles wrist, elbow, and ankle measurements, and the 14" model is ideal for shoulder, hip, and knee assessments requiring longer arm reach.

Q: What's the difference between 1-degree and 5-degree increment scales?

A: The 14" model offers 1-degree increments for maximum precision in detailed documentation, while 6" and 8" models feature 5-degree increments sufficient for most clinical assessment protocols.

Q: How does the thumb valve improve measurement accuracy?

A: The tension control valve locks the goniometer arms at the measured angle, allowing you to remove the instrument from the patient's joint and record the reading without losing position.

Q: Can this goniometer be autoclaved between patients?

A: Yes, the stainless steel construction withstands autoclave sterilization cycles. Ensure complete drying afterward to maintain scale legibility and prevent corrosion of the pivot mechanism.

Q: Why are there two scales on each goniometer?

A: Dual opposing scales eliminate the need to flip the instrument or reposition the patient when measuring angles from different reference points, improving workflow efficiency during multi-joint assessments.
