The patient bends forward at the waist with arms hanging freely. The clinician places the scoliometer across the back at the area of maximum rotation and reads the angle of trunk rotation in degrees. A reading of 7 degrees or more is generally considered a threshold for referral for radiographic evaluation. The scoliometer does not diagnose scoliosis — it identifies who may need further evaluation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the plastic (SKU 12-1099) and the metal Baseline scoliometer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth measure trunk rotation using the same clinical principle. The plastic economy model (SKU 12-1099) is lightweight, lower cost, and the right choice for school screening programs, general practice offices, and clinicians who need a reliable field tool without a premium price. The metal Baseline scoliometer is heavier, more durable for long-term daily clinical use, and reads in centimeters, inches, and degrees — making it better suited for orthopedic or physical therapy settings where precision measurement and tracking over time are priorities. If you are setting up a school screening program or doing occasional screenings, the plastic model is the standard choice. If you are tracking patient progress through a course of treatment, consider the metal model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a prescription or license required to purchase this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — this product can only be purchased by or on the order of a physician or other practitioner licensed to use or order the device. Resellers may only sell to buyers who meet these qualifications.

Always follow your facility's screening protocol and consult current clinical guidelines, as referral thresholds can vary by setting and patient age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this scoliometer appropriate for school screening programs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the Baseline plastic scoliometer is widely used in school scoliosis screening programs by school nurses and health staff. Its lightweight construction, compact size, included storage pouch, and economical price point make it ideal for high-volume, multi-student screening environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat warranty does this product carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Baseline scoliometer carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty from Fabrication Enterprises against defects in materials and workmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShips nationwide. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"tel:18662180902\"\u003eCall 1-866-218-0902\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e — diagnostic instrument specialists available Mon–Fri.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fabication Enterprises","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55234473197937,"sku":"12-1099","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0919\/6122\/9681\/files\/baseline-scoliometer-image1.jpg?v=1779132013","url":"https:\/\/www.medicaldepartmentstore.com\/products\/baseline-plastic-scoliometer","provider":"Medical Department Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
