The Reedco Joint Flexibility Protractor, also known as an Arthrodial Protractor,  is a top quality measuring device that enables one to quickly and accurately test the range of motion in all major joints of the body. It was designed for speed and ease of handling by Reedco Posture, manufacturers of posture/anatomical measuring devices.

The arthrodial protractor is made from transparent, heavy gauge aircraft plexiglass. Accuracy is ensured by the built-in stabilizer bubble and the large, easy-to-read red and black degree markings.

The Reedco Joint Flexibility Protractor is widely used by the medical, paramedical and physical education fields and has proven itself to be an invaluable tool in remedial work, industrial accident cases, and insurance examinations. Normalcy, disability or feigning, can be readily demonstrated and since there are no moving parts, one examiner can easily measure all active or passive movements unaided.

Examples of use: 

• Anterior-posterior head nod limits (forward and backward neck bending)
• Lateral head tip limits (left and right side to side movement)
• Cervical rotation limit (left and right head turning)
• Elbow, flexion/extension limits  (forearm on upper arm)
• Hip, flexion/extension limits (thigh on abdomen)

The instructions include a table of standard levels of joint flexibility. An examiner simply needs to make a measurement and compare it to the table identify any abnormalities.
