DTS 2D Electrical Goniometer User Manual Crosstalk Crosstalk is defined as the ability of the goniometer to measure independently the simultaneous angular movements of a joint in 2 degrees of freedom. Most of the joints discussed in this manual do not have crosstalk, with the exception being the wrist and hip. Provided the guidelines on the size selection and mounting position are followed, crosstalk between the 2 channels will be minimized to an acceptable level. -

Page 35: Appendix F-Electrical Goniometer Sensor Application
DTS 2D Electrical Goniometer User Manual Appendix F – Electrical Goniometer Sensor Application Fingers and Toes – Goniometer F35 The F35 goniometer is a single axis goniometer intended for use on fingers and toes. Angles are measured by rotating one endblock relative to the other about axis X-X. The goniometer is not designed to measure rotations about Y-Y. - Page 36 DTS 2D Electrical Goniometer User Manual Start with the subject’s shoulder in abduction at 90̊ and elbow flexed at 90̊ , such that the forearm is close to full pronation. As shown in Fig. 9, attach the distal endblock to the dorsal surface over the third metacarpal with the center axis of the hand and endblock coincident.
- Page 37 DTS 2D Electrical Goniometer User Manual Elbow 1) Position the subject’s shoulder in abduction at 90 degrees with the elbow and forearm in neutral position. 2) Attach the distal endblock to the forearm with the center axis of the endblock coincident with the center axis of the forearm.
- Page 38 DTS 2D Electrical Goniometer User Manual Knee 1) Have the subject stand in the neutral position with the foot on a flat surface. 2) Attach the distal endblock laterally on the leg so the axes of the leg and endblock coincide, when viewed in the sagittal plane (figure 15).
- Page 39 DTS 2D Electrical Goniometer User Manual Back 1) Attach the proximal endblock to the sacral area at S1 as shown in figure 17. 2) With the patient upright and the goniometer near minimum length, attach the sliding endblock to the back at T12-L1 (this will vary depending upon patient height). 3) Zero the goniometer with the patient in this upright position.
- Page 40 DTS 2D Electrical Goniometer User Manual Forearm Pronation/Supination Attach the two endblocks of the torsiometer to the forearm as shown in Fig. 19 with the slider mechanism approximately midway between the two extremes. Measurements of pronation/supination may now be made from the grey plug. Movements of wrist flexion/extension or radial ulnar deviation will not affect the output.
