Mechanical Goniometer Sensor
DTS 1D Mechanical Goniometer Sensor
for Noraxon TeleMyo DTS System
- Measures angular displacement
- Gliding mechanism to compensate for axis motion
- Flexible arms for uneven surfaces
Product Overview
The mechanical goniometer is designed for the uni-axial joint motion measurement of all major regions. It is an accurate and cost effective solution for knee, elbow, hip and ankle joint measurements. The special construction allows for flexible use and adjustment in size.
Adjustable and flexible construction
A special gliding mechanism allows for dynamic prolongation of one arm and compensates for axis movement with ROM measurements. One arm can also rotate around its own axis. Both arms are made of flexible plastic material. This construction allows the adjustment of the sensor to uneven or rounded surfaces.
The sensor has a predefined measurement setup in all the Noraxon software packages and is operational in a few seconds:

Application Examples
The sensor covers a variety of application areas in medical research, sports analysis, rehabilitation, ergonomics, and robotics. The adjustable construction guarantees a widespread use on all major joint regions. The goniometer may also be adjusted in 2 dimensions allowing the sensor to be used on ankle joints. The sensor can be attached with Velcro straps or adhesive tape.
Application for the elbow joint
Application for the knee joint
