Static Testing Mode
Each individual rep is zeroed by pressing the Enter button at the beginning of the rep and ended by pressing
the Enter button at the end of the repetition.
Static testing can be performed using either single or dual inclinometry protocols. Static testing means the
patient’s range of motion is measured in a static position. In Static Testing Mode, ROM is also only measured
for a single joint movement, such as single inclinometry elbow flexion or dual inclinometry thoracic kyphosis.
To perform static tests you must change into Static Testing Mode.
Dynamic Testing Mode
Each TEST is zeroed on the first repetition. After being zeroed on the first rep, each rep is ended by pressing the
Enter button again. This is similar to Static Testing Mode except that there is only one zero (at the beginning of
rep 1).
Using dual inclinometry in Dynamic Testing Mode is the preferred method for measuring most spine ranges of
motion. Dynamic Testing Mode measures movement pairs, such as cervical flexion/extension, or left and right
cervical lateral flexion. To perform Dynamic tests you must change into Dynamic Testing Mode.
Dynamic tests can be performed using dual or single inclinometry. For dual inclinometry, the display provides
three measurements: movement of both sensors and Total Range of Motion. For single inclinometry, the
display only shows the Primary device’s movement. Dynamic Testing Mode for dual or single inclinometry is
essentially the same.
Auto-rep mode:
Each TEST is zeroed on the first repetition. After being zeroed on the first rep, the inclinometer moves to some
max angle (greater than 10 degrees from zero), and then returns to within 10 degrees of the zero position. The
maximum angle will automatically be stored and the next rep will start.
