Typically, there are 2 reasons: 1. To check for an increase/decrease in swelling 2. To check range of motion (using a goniometer) Usualy, this is done after surgery or injury to the joint. Measurements are used to determine how well you are healing as well as how you are progressing in treatment (e.g. physical therapy).
