Description
The ADC Goniometer 8 Inch measures joint range of motion on a 360-degree head with two calibrated scales reading in 1-degree increments, then holds the angle until you reset it. For therapists charting progress visit to visit, that stay-put reading is the difference between a number and a guess.
- 360-degree head – Two calibrated scales read range of motion in precise 1-degree increments.
- Holds its reading – The arm remains in the measurement position until reset, so the angle survives being set down.
- Dual-unit linear scale – The arm carries a linear scale in both inches and centimeters for length checks.
- Latex and phthalate free – Made without phthalates or natural rubber latex for sensitive settings.
Range-of-Motion Measurement That Stays Put
This 8-inch goniometer is the compact member of ADC's multi-use line, built around a 360-degree head for unrestricted joint measurement. Two calibrated scales let the clinician read flexion and extension without repositioning the instrument between directions. The friction-held arm stays where the joint leaves it, so the reading can be verified and charted after the patient relaxes. A linear scale along the arm, in inches and centimeters, covers quick length measurements in the same visit. Physical and occupational therapists, athletic trainers, and hand clinics get clinic-grade measurement in a pocketable size.

Why Choose This Goniometer
Progress notes live or die on repeatable numbers, and a goniometer that drifts after the patient moves produces fiction. A head that holds its reading, calibrated to a single degree, turns range-of-motion charting into evidence. The 8-inch size is the one that lives in the therapy pocket rather than the drawer.
- Reading stays put – The position-holding arm preserves the angle for verification and charting.
- One-degree resolution – Fine increments catch small gains that coarser tools round away.
- Two scales, one head – Flexion and extension read without flipping the instrument.
- One-year backing – Coverage runs one year for the original purchaser.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 8-inch size suit best?
The 8-inch arm suits smaller joints and general clinic work where a compact instrument is handier. ADC also offers a 12-inch version with three scales for larger joints, listed separately.
How precise is the measurement?
The two calibrated scales read in 1-degree increments across the 360-degree head. The arm holds its position until reset, so the reading does not drift while charting.
Does it measure length as well?
Yes, the arm carries a linear scale in both inches and centimeters. That covers quick limb and incision measurements in the same visit.
Is it latex free?
Yes, it is made without phthalates or natural rubber latex. That suits latex-sensitive clinics and schools.
What warranty applies?
ADC provides a one-year warranty for the original retail purchaser. The term is counted from delivery to the original buyer.
