In physical & occupational therapy and in sports science, a goniometer is an instrument which measures an axis and range of motion. The instrument is a degree scale (like a protractor) with arms that can be aligned with the position of the extremity and the angle measured in reference to a base line.

If a patient or athlete experiences decreased range of motion in a joint (e.g. a knee or elbow), the tester can use a goniometer to assess what the range of motion is prior to intervention, and then make sure the intervention is working in subsequent assessments.

This 20cm 360° Goniometer can be used to measure & evaluate the following:-
