Goniometer

A goniometer is a medical instrument used by healthcare professionals to measure the angle or range of motion in a joint, such as the elbow, knee, or shoulder. It typically consists of two arms or scales connected at a pivot point, allowing precise measurement of how much a joint can move in different directions. Goniometers help assess joint flexibility, identify limitations, and monitor progress during treatment or rehabilitation. They are important tools in physiotherapy, orthopedics, and sports medicine for evaluating joint function objectively.
