Goniometric Assessment is designed to help fitness and health professionals understand how joint range of motion can be measured and interpreted within a corrective exercise approach.

Through this course, participants will learn the scientific rationale for goniometric assessment and how it can support the identification of muscle length limitations and movement dysfunctions. The course explains the different components of a goniometer and how to use it properly to measure joint range of motion.

Participants will also learn how to connect goniometric measurements with movement assessments such as the Overhead Squat and Single-leg Squat, helping them use assessment findings to develop more effective corrective exercise strategies. 

This course equips participants with a clearer understanding of goniometric assessment and its role in corrective exercise. Key outcomes include understanding the scientific rationale, using a goniometer to measure joint range of motion, interpreting mobility-related findings, and connecting measurements to movement assessments.
