A goniometer measures __________.
a. a joint's maximum range of motion
b. a joint's minimum range of motion
c. a joint's flexion
d. extension and hyperextension

Respuesta :

Its used to measure the total amount of available motion at a specific joint
So I guess the answer would be 
A. a joints maximum range of motion
M0903

Answer:

a. a joint's maximum range of motion

Explanation:

A goniometer is a device that is used to measure the maximum arc of motion made by a joint. The traditional goniometer consists of a protractor and two extending arms ,one of the arms is movable while the other one is stationary.To take measurements the center of the goniometer is aligned with the center of a joint. Then the arm of the goniometer is moved until it aligns with the limb that has been moved to a maximum position that the joint allows. The angle made between the two arms of the goniometer is measured in degrees and is the maximum range of motion of the joint.
