Range of motion is something people normally don’t give a second thought to until they start to experience a diminished lack of movement. Maintaining proper range of motion is one of the main goals in physical therapy and depending on the diagnosis, treatment is often planned around increasing function. The ability to measure range of motion then, is an important part of physical therapy, both in the evaluation stage and in order to measure progress along the way.

When considering tools to measure range of motion, it’s important to consider buying a kit that will meet all your needs. An inclinometer is a device used to measure both functional and passive range of motion in the body. The Acumar Inclinometer 4-piece Set is one of the best choices on the market for measuring range of motion.

Acumar Inclinometer 4 piece set is designed for range of motion evaluation.
