What is the primary purpose of modifying a standard goniometer

A: a. To improve measurement accuracy and functionality B: b. To make it more expensive C: c. To reduce its usability D: d. To increase its weight

2. One major advantage of a modified (digital/inclinometer-based) goniometer over a universal goniometer is:

A: a. It eliminates inter-examiner variability B: b. It automatically detects muscle strength C: c. It does not require alignment with bony landmarks D: d. It can measure joint circumference

4. When using a modified goniometer with digital output, one limitation is:

A: a. It cannot be used in upper limb joints B: b. It requires calibration and may depend on battery/electronics C: c. It measures only passive ROM D: d. It does not provide numerical readings

6. In post-operative physiotherapy assessment, a modified goniometer is preferred over a universal goniometer because:

A: a. It avoids the need for therapist positioning B: b. It records and stores data for progress tracking C: c. It requires no therapist supervision D: d. It is less time-consuming but less reliable

5. A smartphone-based modified goniometer application functions primarily by using:

A: a. Electromyographic sensors B: b. Inertial measurement sensors (accelerometer/gyroscope) C: c. Manual alignment with protractor arms D: d. Electrode placement over muscles
