“built-in levels” take away guesswork
regarding absolute horizontal or
vertical positions
A New Improvement In Goniometry -
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LEVELS
Finally...No More Guesswork!
Many goniometric measurements require the practitioner to place one arm
of the goniometer in either the horizontal or vertical position. The other arm
is then lined-up with the patient’s body segment.
Until now, the practitioner had to “assume” or “eyeball” the vertical or horizon-
tal position. This interpretation of horizontal or vertical is often incorrect and al-
lows for measurement error. The Absolute+Axis (AA) goniometer removes the
“assume” and “eyeball” by establishing a “true” vertical or horizontal. The
Absolute+Axis goniometer removes measurement variability and allows
the practitioner to concentrate on correct placement of the other go-
niometer arm and the patient's body position.
Some measurements the AA goniometer is designed to improve are:
shoulder and hip rotation (internal, external);
cervical flexion, extension, rotation and side
bending; hamstring flexibility;
and active ROM.
