A simple goniometer for measuring hip function
Rheumatology and Rehabilitation
|May 1, 1979
Abstract:
A goniometer was designed and developed in an attempt to find an objective method of measuring hip flexion and extension in walking as as indication of hip function. Existing goniometers were found to be inadequate for clinical and research use because either they did not provide sufficient information or the information they provided was more than necessary, requiring bulky and time-consuming power devices. The present goniometer is a compromise, providing a quick and easy-to-use clinical and research tool which measures total flexion and extension in walking.

01:10Ankle Joint
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
01:29Trigonometry of Right Triangles
In a right triangle, trigonometric functions establish specific ratios that describe the relationship between the lengths of the triangle's sides and its acute angles. These relationships are foundational in understanding the structure of right-angled geometry. The sine function quantifies the proportion of the side opposite a given angle compared to the triangle's hypotenuse. In contrast, the cosine function expresses how the side adjacent to the angle relates to the hypotenuse in terms of...
