Frequently Asked Questions About Goniometers

The current set includes three stainless steel goniometers identified as Finger, Half and 360° formats. The set also includes a Taylor knee hammer, measuring tape and zipper bag.

Range of motion describes the amount of movement available at a joint. Goniometric ROM measurement records a joint angle according to a defined examination method and can be used for clinical documentation or rehabilitation follow-up.

Patient position, anatomical landmark selection, goniometer alignment and examiner technique can influence the recorded value. Using a consistent method is especially important when measurements are repeated for comparison over time.

No. A goniometer provides an angular measurement. It does not independently diagnose the cause of restricted, painful or increased movement. The result should be interpreted with the wider clinical assessment by an appropriately trained healthcare professional.

The Taylor knee hammer is a separate percussion instrument supplied for appropriate reflex examination. It should not be interpreted as part of the goniometric joint-angle measurement mechanism.

The current published specification states a measuring tape up to 151 cm / 59 inches. It can support selected linear and circumference measurements. Confirm the current supplied configuration if a tender or purchase order depends on a specific tape length.
