What's the difference between goniometer and halometer?
Goniometer
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for measuring angles, especially the angles of crystals, or the inclination of planes.
Example Sentences:
(1) Intertester reliability for measurements obtained with a goniometer was .90 for flexion and .86 for extension.
(2) Goniometric PROM measurements for the shoulder appear to be highly reliable when taken by the same physical therapist, regardless of the size of the goniometer used.
(3) The goniometers were set on the right hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint and the inclinometer was set on the right side of the trunk.
(4) The angles of joints are measured by newly developed goniometers which use the bending loss of rubber optical fibers.
(5) The goniometer was used to record the hip movement patterns of six subjects who cycled in the standing position on a treadmill.
(6) The goniometer is presented first, followed by the development of the equations that enable the distance from the joint center to the pedal spindle to be determined.
(7) By TEM equipped with a goniometer stage, a part of the limiting membrane of B-granules became visible as the stage tilt progressed.
(8) A special verification apparatus facilitated evaluation of goniometer inherent accuracy.
(9) Range-of-motion (ROM) measurements were taken for forward bending (FB), backward bending (BB) (double inclinometers), lateral bending (LB) (tape measure), and rotation (double-arm goniometer).
(10) A simple goniometer for the hip has been described, and in contrast a sophisticated telemeterized system has been devised.
(11) The novel design of ANGULATOR--flexible polycentric goniometer is presented.
(12) The Ortho Ranger does not provide remarkable advantages in measurement compared to the goniometer.
(13) Recordings of the goniometer were made at three locations within the field of view of the cameras.
(14) The results of this check indicate that the attachment point of the goniometer to the rider can be located to within 2.5 mm of the true position.
(15) The most clinically useful were cervical rotation using a protractor, cervical lateral flexion using a goniometer, thoracolumbar flexion as the C7 to iliac crest line distraction, thoracolumbar lateral flexion as the fingertip to floor distance and the modified Schober index.
(16) To determine reliabilities within and between persons measuring cervical active range of motion (AROM) three methods were examined: use of a cervical-range-of-motion (CROM) instrument, use of a universal goniometer (UG), and visual estimation (VE).
(17) The retina of live, anaesthetized pigeons was inspected with an ophthalmoscopic microscope mounted on a goniometer.
(18) Sixty normal children were examined clinically and radiologically, using a special apparatus with a goniometer and a tensometer to standardize stress tests when applying valgus and varus forces to the ankle.
(19) A computer-control procedure was developed to facilitate in situ fatigue experiments within an intermediate voltage transmission electron microscope using a goniometer-type straining holder.
(20) The angles of joints were measured by the newly developed goniometers which use the bending loss of rubber optical fibers.
Halometer
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for measuring the forms and angles of salts and crystals; a goniometer.
Example Sentences:
(1) We propose the use of an enhanced monitoring standard requiring a pulse oximeter, capnograph, spirometer, halometer, automatic sphygmomanometer, breathing circuit oxygen analyzer, stethoscope, electrocardiographic monitor, and temperature monitor.
