Introducon to Dual Inclinometers
The Echo Inclinometers were designed to make measuring spine and large extremity ranges of moon faster,
easier and more accurate. Using Dual Inclinometers fullls the requirement to capture the compound moon
of the spine by measuring two points concurrently. Our Dual Inclinometers can be used to measure extremies
using either single or dual inclinometry.
Features
• Eliminates calculaon, placement changes, and repeat procedures.
• Provides recording of the Total Range of Moon, Upper Segment Extreme and Lower Segment Extreme for
spine range of moon measurements (vital data for AMA-based impairment rang).
• Records up to eight repeons per test, for up to 20 tests.
• Features Dynamic, Stac, and Auto-rep tesng modes for the spine and extremies.
• In Auto-rep tesng mode, the Console automacally records movement end-points so tesng is more
convenient.
• Measure extremies with either dual or single inclinometry.
• Capable of simulated goniometry.
General Inclinometry Tesng
Prior to beginning a test, ensure that the test defaults are set as desired (i.e. unit of measurement, number of
tests, number of repeons, etc.). Once test defaults are set, choose the “Test” opon from the main menu,
and follow these steps:
1. Select “Inclinometer” from the Test menu (Note: if you have purchased a new inclinometer and it is not on
the list, see page 18 for instrucons or contact customer service to register your new inclinometer).
2. Upon selecon, the Commander Echo Console will aempt to connect with the Primary Inclinometer.
3. Press the “On/Enter” buon for the Primary Inclinometer to establish a connecon with the Commander
Echo Console.
4. Aer successful connecon to the Primary Inclinometer, the Console will as if you want to “Connect to
Secondary Device?” Select “Yes” or “No.”
i. If you select “Yes”, Press the “On” buon for the Secondary Inclinometer to establish a connecon with
the Commander Echo Console.
5. The Commander Echo will automacally advance to the next available test in the series. If no test data is
currently being stored for the instrument, it will begin with Test 1. If all of the selected tests already have
data stored, then the Commander Echo Console will display Message 2 on the LCD and not allow further
tesng unl the data has been erased, or the test sengs have been altered to allow for more tests.
6. Ready the paent and begin the test (Note: see the oponal Mulmedia Help System CD for further
informaon on specic tesng procedures).
7. Once you have completed the pre-set number of repeons for each side/test, the Commander Echo will
automacally advance to the next test in the exam.
8. Once all tests have been completed, the Commander Echo Console will display Message 2 on the LCD to
nofy you that there are no more empty tests available. Pressing the Control Sck will bring you back to the
main menu
 Note: The Commander Echo Console does not require a zero calibraon of the Inclinometers prior to starng
each exam.
