    A new goniometer offers an objective method for measuring hip flexion and extension during walking, improving assessment of hip function in clinical and research settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Orthopedics
    • Medical Device Design

    Background:

    • Existing goniometers are inadequate for clinical and research use due to insufficient data or overly complex power devices.
    • Objective measurement of hip function during gait is crucial for diagnosis and treatment monitoring.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and develop an objective goniometer for measuring hip flexion and extension during walking.
    • To provide a practical tool for assessing hip function in both clinical and research environments.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel goniometer.
    • Testing the goniometer's ability to measure hip flexion and extension during walking.

    Main Results:

    • The developed goniometer provides a quick and easy-to-use method for measuring total hip flexion and extension during walking.
