Goniometry

Goniometric assessments refer to the measurement of joint angles in the body, particularly those created by the bones at human joints. This process involves using a goniometer, a specialized device that measures the range of motion and flexibility of specific joints in the body. Goniometric assessments are often used in physical therapy and other movement analysis fields to help diagnose joint issues and track progress in treatment. Synonyms for goniometric assessments include joint angle measurements and range-of-motion testing. Related glossary terms may include goniometer, joint mobility, and joint axis.
