A scoliometer, also known as an inclinometer or level, is a non‐invasive and easily applied clinical tool used to measure trunk asymmetry. The most accurate measurement of vertebral rotation is by CT axial imaging.
Scoliometers are used to measure the degree of trunk rotation in people with scoliosis. The idea is very simple. The scoliometer is basically a level with a cutout for the spine, and specific degrees representing how much rotation is at each vertebral segment. It is a great screening tool for scoliosis.
The Baseline Scoliosis Portable Medical Evaluation, Measuring and Testing Meter for Diagnosis of Back and Spine Scoliosis in Adults or Children is the essential tool for scoliosis screening and for the follow-up of scoliosis. The Testing Meter is a simple and easy-to-use tool for measuring the degree of spinal rotation in the back due to scoliosis, spinal deformities, or injuries. It has a large, easy-to-read testing display that provides accurate measurements between 0 and 30 degrees of deformity rotation.
