Dear BIOMCH-L,

Please find below the responses to the question:

Can anyone suggest the names and telephone numbers of firms
operating in the United Kingdom which sell low cost universal
goniometers or gravity goniometers for measuring body postures
by hand ?"

Thank you for your suggestions.

I know ISOMED producing and selling antrophometric material and
incliniometers for goniometry (manual and elctronic for PC). I was
searching these goniometers. Their official adress is in USA but the
brother of the owner of the company is in Vienna - where I met him:
Mr. Alexander Gerhardt Riedstrasse, 20 A- 1140 Vienna. He speaks
english. If you contact him you can let him know that these
information comes from Brussels, he will be glad to hear that - I have
no other contact with him or ISOMED. Good luck in your search and
please let me know the result of your querry, I will wait a litte
while before ordering - who knows it could be you find another firm?

On goniometers I could only suggest you to contact Mr.
Dipl.-Ing Hanno Ernst from biovision, Marienbader Str. 14 a, D-61273
Wehrheim, Germany, FAX +49-6081-56882, e-mail
biovision.ernst@t-online.de. I find biovision has the most reliable
equipment in this subject. It is also possible to contact the motion
measurement company albavision at albavision@t-online.de - probably
they could also help you.

Yours sincerely,
