The Absolute+Axis™ (AA) goniometer establishes a ¬ìtrue¬î vertical or horizontal to the start point of a measurement. Many goniometric measurements require one arm of the goniometer to be positioned either horizontally or vertically. The other arm is then lined-up with the patient¬ís body part. Until now, the practitioner had to ¬ìassume¬î or ¬ìeyeball¬î the vertical or horizontal position. This interpolation is often incorrect and introduces measurement error.
The Absolute+Axis™ goniometer removes measurement variability and allows the practitioner to concentrate on correct placement of the other goniometer arm and the patient's body position. Some measurements the AA goniometer is designed to improve are: shoulder and hip rotation (internal, external); cervical flexion, extension, rotation and side bending; hamstring flexibility; and active ROM.
The Baseline Absolute Axis 360° Goniometer, 12" (005-1013992) is a professional-grade tool designed to provide highly accurate measurements of joint range of motion (ROM) in clinical, rehabilitation, and research settings. With its full 360-degree rotation and absolute axis design, this goniometer ensures precise readings without the need for manual zeroing before each measurement.
Constructed from durable, transparent materials, the goniometer allows clear visualization of the joint and alignment markers, facilitating accurate assessments for both small and large joints. The 12-inch arms provide extended reach and versatility, making it ideal for measuring motion in the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and other major joints.
The Baseline Absolute Axis 360° Goniometer is widely used by physical therapists, occupational therapists, athletic trainers, and rehabilitation specialists for tracking patient progress, documenting mobility changes, and guiding treatment plans. Its sturdy construction and ergonomic design make it a reliable, long-lasting tool for daily clinical use.
