In degenerative, traumatic and orthopedic diseases of the joints and spine, their motor function suffers above all. The amplitude of active and passive movements in the joints and spine, in addition to other clinical parameters, must be taken into account when formulating a treatment plan. A special protractor is still used for this purpose, but the accuracy of measurement by this method is extremely low (error of 5-6).
We determined mobility of large joints of lower limbs and spine in patients with various syndromes of lumbar osteochondrosis using a domestic UB-XL4 angle gauge. This device is used to measure surface deviations from the vertical and horizontal.
