WRIST – Goniometer TSD130A/SS20L/SS20/BN-GON-110-XDCR
Attach the telescopic endblock to the back of the hand, with the center axis of
the hand and endblock coincident (top of figure — viewed in the frontal plane).
While fully flexing the wrist (middle and bottom of figure), extend the
goniometer to Position 2 (as shown on page 2) and attach the fixed endblock to
the forearm so that when viewed from the dorsal plane, the axes of the forearm
and endblock are coincident. The wrist may now be flexed or extended,
abducted or adducted, with the goniometer freely sliding between Positions 1
and 2. Measurement of flexion/extension is obtained from the gray plug, and
abduction/adduction is obtained from the blue plug.
ARTICULAR COMPLEX OF THE FOOT – Goniometer TSD130A/SS20L/SS20/BN-GON-110-XDCR
Attach the telescopic endblock to the back of the heel.
Extend the ankle to the maximum extension anticipated during measurement,
and attach the fixed endblock to the posterior of the leg, with the goniometer in
Position 1 (maximum length, as shown on page 2) so that the axes of the leg
endblock are coincident.
Flexion/extension of the ankle may now be monitored using the gray plug and
pronation/supination using the blue marked plug.
ELBOW – Goniometer TSD130B/SS21L/SS21/BN-GON-150-XDCR
Attach the telescopic endblock to the forearm with the center axis of the
endblock coincident with the center axis of the forearm. With the elbow fully
extended, move the goniometer to Position 2 (maximum length, as shown on
page 2) and attach the fixed endblocks to the upper arm, with the center of the
endblock and the center axis of the upper arm coincident.
Now the elbow may be fully extended with the telescopic endblock freely
sliding between Positions 1 and 2. Measurement of flexion/extension is
obtained from the blue marked plug, and the gray plug is redundant. Note that
the telescopic endblock is mounted on the half of the forearm nearest to the
elbow joint. Movements of pronation and supination may be made and will
affect the measurement of flexion/extension by a small amount.
HIP – Goniometer TSD130B/SS21L/SS21//BN-GON-150-XDCR
Attach the fixed endblock to the side of the trunk in the pelvic region. With the
limb in the position of reference, extend the goniometer to Position 2
(maximum length, as shown on page 2) and attach the telescopic endblock to
the thigh, so that axes of the thigh and endblock coincide (when viewed in the
sagittal plane, as shown).
The thigh may now be flexed or extended, abducted or adducted, with the
goniometer sliding freely between Positions 1 and 2. Measurements of
flexion/extension are obtained from the blue marked, and abduction/adduction
from the gray plug.
