hollywoodnc Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't ALL doctors supposed to use a Goniometer to render correct orthopedic ROM? Are Goniometers used for specific parts on the body? If so, which? Is there a reg that supports the use of this device, or is it Voluntary? Last, but not least, can ROM be challenged if a doctor fails to use one? How many of you had an Ortho exam, and a Goniometer was not used? Same as above, but one WAS used?
