Baseline Bubble Inclinometer - Professional Easy To Read Range Of Motion Test For Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation, And Recovery With Carrying Case

I've been using Baseline inclinometers for twenty years to perform range of motion measurements. They are essential for the two-inclinometer method of measuring spinal range of motion. Recently one of my inclinometers grew legs and walked away from the clinic, so I needed to buy a replacement. The prices are an absolute bargain! When I purchased my original set of inclinometers 20 years ago, these cost around $150 each, as I recall. For a highly specialized medical instrument one time purchase, that's understandable. So, buying a replacement for just $40 was a total no-brainer. I didn't even bother with the Chinese knock-offs. You'll see in the attached photo, my original inclinometer side by side with the new one. They are virtually identical -- if anything, the new one is better and the action is smoother and easier to use. Anyone who needs an inclinometer can purchase a Baseline brand unit with complete confidence. I noticed a few reviews complaining about the fluid level not being exactly from 0 to 180 degrees, and I wanted to address that: (1) it takes a few seconds for the fluid to settle due to viscosity. Once the inclinometer is vertical for 5-10 seconds, the fluid goes from 0 to 180 exactly on the meniscus. (2) it doesn't matter anyway because when you are taking a measurement, you rotate the dial to the zero position at the start.

I like how easy it is to use out of the box. All the students in our PT program use them. Maneuverable but also can withstand a drop or 2 (just don't make it a habit)

Good design & quality for the price. It is easy to read and has no sticking points. The carrying case is helpful.

easy to use light - slighlty flimsy only con. no problems though

love using this at work for ROM measurements! I know some experienced leaking of the blue liquid in the device but mine hasn't so far. price is really expensive though and was only able to buy it because the company I work at rewarded me with equipment money but I guess that's really how much it should cost?

The ones purchased a year or so ago were stiffer, appropriately so, to hold the position. The ones I just received are so loose that the dial turns when barely touched, which almost has to happen when measuring spinal ROM.

Requested by my daughter who is a physical therapist. She said it was exactly what she needed, was familiar with yours and wanted the same.

Had one that lasted for 2 months, and it was great when it worked. I kept it in a bubble-wrap envelope, was very careful with it - and it ended up that the blue fluid leaked outside its canal. I ordered another one - this one came damaged, with the fluid not contained and therefore off by almost 10 degrees. Hoping it was a fluke, I returned that one, and ordered another one - same exact thing. I returned it and hope to find some other company that manufactures what is a relatively simple device that is not complete and utter garbage!
