An inclinometer is a medical instrument that is used to measure angles in various parts of the body. It can be used to measure the angle between bones, joints or other parts of the body, and to determine the position of various organs and tissues.
The goniometer consists of two parts: the base and the head. The base has the shape of a triangle on which graduated scales are located. The head is a movable element that is attached to the base and can rotate around its axis. The head also has a graduated scale that allows you to accurately measure angles.
To measure an angle with a protractor, you need to place the head on the desired point on the body, fix it and turn it until the desired angle is reached. The head is then fixed and the angle value is read on a graduated scale.
Protractors can be used for a variety of medical purposes, including the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal diseases, neurological diseases and other pathologies. They can also be used to monitor children's development and determine correct posture.
Overall, a protractor is an important tool in medical practice that helps doctors and other professionals accurately determine the angles and positions of various parts of the body.
