In the example above, the TSD130A was connected directly to a DA100C amplifier,
the DA100C gain was set to 1,000, and AcqKnowledge was used to calibrate the
signal to provide angular measurements from approxi90° to -90°.

BIOPAC Goniometers and Torsiometers are designed for the measurement of limb angular movement. Goniometers
transform angular position into a proportional electrical signal. Goniometers incorporate gauge elements that measure
bending strain along or around a particular axis.
BIOPAC goniometers are unobtrusive and lightweight, and can be attached to the body surface using double-sided
surgical tape (and can be further secured with single sided tape). The goniometers have a telescopic endblock that
compensates for changes in distance between the two mounting points as the limb moves. The gauge mechanism allows
for accurate measurement of polycentric joints. All sensors connect directly to the BIOPAC Acquisition Unit as part of an
MP or BSL System. Activity data can be displayed and recorded, leaving the subject to move freely in the normal
environment.
The bending strain is proportional to the sum total angular shift along the axis. Because the bending force is extremely
small, the output signal is uniquely a proportional function of the angular shift.
Twin-axis Goniometers
Dual output devices that can measure angular rotation about two orthogonal planes
simultaneously. Goniometers provide outputs to simultaneously measure around two
orthogonally rotational axes (e.g. wrist flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviations).
—wrist or ankle
use
TSD130A/SS20L/SS20/BN-GON-110-XDCR
—elbow, knee or shoulder
use
TSD130B/SS21L/SS21/BN-GON-150-XDCR
Torsiometers
Measure angular twisting (as on the torso, spine or neck) as opposed to bending. Torsiometers
measure rotation about a single axis (e.g. forearm pronation/supination).
—neck use

TSD130D/SS23L/SS23/BN-TOR-150-XDCR
Single-axis Goniometer
Measures the angle in one plane only; designed to measure digit joint movement.
—fingers, thumb or toes
