What is goniometry Types of goniometer Knee goniometry Knee flexion Knee extension Ankle goniometry Objectives
The term goniometry is derived from two Greek words, gonia , meaning angle, and metron , meaning measure . Goniometer A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint What is goniometry..?
