Goniometer made by Develey le Jeune in Lausanne, late 18th–early 19th century. A goniometer is an instrument that either measures an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position. The term goniometry derives from two Greek words, γωνία 'angle' and μέτρον 'measure'. [1]
Analog and traditional devices to measure range of motion in the joints of the body include the goniometer and inclinometer which use a stationary arm, protractor, fulcrum, and movement arm to measure angle from axis of the joint. As measurement results will vary by the degree of resistance, two levels of range of motion results are recorded in ...
A conductive ink based flex sensor. A flex sensor or bend sensor is a sensor that measures the amount of deflection or bending.Usually, the sensor is stuck to the surface, and resistance of sensor element is varied by bending the surface.
The most important ligament involved in shoulder joint stability is the Inferior Glenohumeral Ligament. During abduction of the arm, the middle and inferior ligaments become taut while the superior ligament relaxes. The radius of curvature of the head of the humerus is greater superiorly than inferiorly, which further stretches these ligaments ...
The Spencer technique (also known as the "7 stages of Spencer") is an articulatory technique used in Osteopathic medicine to help relieve restriction and pain at the shoulder. [1] Although variations exist, normally 7 steps are included. [2] Indications for the Spencer technique include adhesive capsulitis. [3] The following is a common ...
The first stage requires immobilization of the shoulder joint. The shoulder that is injured is placed in a sling and shoulder flexion or abduction of the arm is avoided for 4 to 6 weeks after surgery (Brewster, 1993). Avoiding movement of the shoulder joint allows the torn tendon to fully heal. [24]
This Royal Navy model is typical of B–T goniometers. The two sets of field coils and the rotating sense coil are visible.. A Bellini–Tosi direction finder (B–T or BTDF) is a type of radio direction finder (RDF), which determines the direction to, or bearing of, a radio transmitter.
