The TSD130C torsiometer is a single output device used to measure axial rotation about a single plane (e.g., forearm pronation/supination). Telescopic endblocks compensate for changes in distance between the two mounting points as the limb moves. The gauge mechanism allows for accurate measurement of polycentric joints. Use TAPE2 medical adhesive tape to attach to the body. Requires one DA100C general-purpose transducer amp for output.
The TSD130C and TSD130D single output devices measure limb angular movement.
See TSD130A and TSD130B dual output devices for simultaneous measurements around two orthogonal rotational axes (e.g., wrist flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviations).
See TSD130E single axis goniometer to measure finger joint movement.
