SS24 is used to measure finger joint movement. The gauge mechanism in this single-axis goniometerallows for accurate measurement of polycentric joints. Telescopic endblocks compensate for changes in distance between the two mounting points as the limb moves. A TEL100C channel is required for output. Use TAPE2 medical adhesive tape to attach to the body.
See SS20 and SS21 dual output devices for simultaneous measurements around two orthogonal rotational axes (e.g., wrist flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviations).
See SS22 and SS23 single output devices to measure axial rotation about a single plane (e.g., forearm pronation/supination).
