Request Information
Twin-axis Goniometer, 110 mm
The TSD130A goniometer is a dual output device that can provide simultaneous measurements around two orthogonal rotational axes (e.g., wrist flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviations). The gauge mechanism allows for accurate measurement of polycentric joints.
Telescopic endblocks compensatesfor changes in distance between the two mounting points as the limb moves. Goniometers attach to the body using TAPE2 medical adhesive tape. One DA100C is required for each output; accordingly, to measure both axes simultaneously, the twin axis goniometer requires two DA100C amplifiers.
  • The TSD130A and TSD130B are dual output devices used to measure limb angular movement.
  • The TSD130C and TSD130D are single output devices used to measure axial rotation about a single plane (e.g., forearm pronation/supination).
  • The TSD130E is used to measure finger joint movement (single axis goniometer).
