Abstract
A goniometer is a device used to measure angles and is therefore useful in quantifying range of motion in athletic training and health-related fields such as physical therapy, orthopedic medicine, and occupational medicine. Various descriptions regarding the correct use of traditional goniometers exist in the literature.
