Goniometry Videos
Welcome to the F.A. Davis goniometry videos. Below you will find over 50 video clips designed to reinforce your clinical expertise and further help you master the skill of goniometry measurements. Covering both ROM and Muscle Length Testing, each video walks you through the entire technique, from positioning the patient on the table, to positioning the goniometer on the patient, to zooming in on the goniometer and accurately reading the results. Enjoy!
