Abstract: A goniometer for use in measuring the range of motion of a patient is provided. The goniometer includes a first arm and a second arm that are pivotally attached. A scale is present and is used in determining the angular orientation between the first arm and the second arm. Also, a level member is included and is carried by one of the first arm and second arm. An associated method is also provided.

Abstract: An under vehicle carrier for a spare wheel having a tire mounted to a central rim is disclosed and includes an elongated body adapted for mounting to the underside of a vehicle. A first end portion of the body is positioned adjacent to a side or end margins of the vehicle. An arm is pivoted at one end to the first end portion of the body so that it may be raised and lowered. An arm operating assembly, such as a cable and jack screw mechanism, is provided for raising and lowering the arm. Also, a central portion of the rim is releasably coupled to the arm in a manner that maintains the wheel horizontal as it is raised and lowered. As a result, a portion of the wheel is automatically delivered out from underneath the vehicle as the arm is lowered. A spring biasing mechanism urges the arm to a lowered position and maintains the cable taut as it is played out and pulled in. Also, the body defines a compartment within which substantially all of the arm operating assembly is positioned.
