The comprehensive range of Biometrics’ goniometers and torsiometers are ideal for quick, simple, and accurate measurement of joint movement in multiple planes.  Extremely robust, lightweight and flexible, the sensors can be comfortably worn undetected under clothing, without hindering the actual movement of the joint.

The “SG” series twin axis goniometers and “Q” series single axis torsiometers provide improved mechanical integrity and electrical performance.

Biometrics’ sensors are sold separately or as part of complete measurement systems. Available systems include instrumentation for static angle readout, dynamic on line data acquisition in 2, 8, 16, 24, or 32 channel configurations, or fully portable wireless data collection.

In general, there are no fixed rules governing which size of sensor is most suitable for a particular joint; this depends on the size of the subject.  The sensor must be capable of reaching across the joint so that the two end blocks can be mounted where least movement occurs between the skin and underlying skeletal structure.  In certain circumstances more than one size of sensor will be appropriate.  The following table is given for guidance only and refers to an adult population.  Size used will vary within paediatrics
