Electrogoniometer Design & Uses

The document describes the design of an electrogoniometer. It begins by discussing the limitations of conventional protractor goniometers. It then outlines the design of the mechanical part, including the movement of the transducer probe. A block diagram of the electrogoniometer project is presented showing the main components. Finally, potential applications of the electrogoniometer are listed, such as range of motion testing in physiotherapy and measuring flexibility.

Conventional Goniometer

The Protractor goniometer

Elbow Extension Elbow Flexion


Limitation of Conventional
Goniometer
• Bulky apparatus
• Less accuracy
• Measuring the angle while holding the
protractor throughout measurement is difficult
• Patients with severe joint dislocation finds the
conventional procedure painful
