USAGE GUIDELINES
- Patient Positioning: Ensure the patient is comfortable and the joint is exposed with the surrounding muscles relaxed.
- Identify Landmarks: Palpate and mark anatomical landmarks (e.g., greater trochanter, lateral epicondyle) before aligning the goniometer.
- Center Alignment: Place the goniometer’s fulcrum directly over the joint’s axis of rotation for accurate readings.
- Arm Placement: Align one arm with the proximal bone and the other with the distal bone using the extended 12-inch arms for better leverage.
- Motion Execution: Move the joint slowly through its full, pain-free range while maintaining alignment and observe the scale continuously.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down with a soft cloth dampened in mild soap solution or a 70% isopropyl disinfectant avoid soaking.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use scouring pads or abrasive powders that can scratch or cloud the plastic.
- Temperature Caution: Keep away from direct heat sources, autoclaves, or extreme sunlight to prevent warping.
- Handle Gently: Avoid dropping or bending the arms apply only gentle, steady pressure when aligning the device.
- Storage: Store flat in a protective sleeve or drawer to avoid bending avoid placing heavy objects on top.
