Abstract
A diagnostic apparatus employs a spaced grid and a centerline on a vertically mounted mirror to reflect the skeletal position of a patient. The patient stands on two scales which measure the weight borne by each of the patient's legs. The output of each scale is displayed on the mirror. An aperture is formed in the mirror to enable the patient to be photographed. The photograph may be printed on paper bearing the grid pattern and the centerline.
Claims7
A diagnostic apparatus for determining a patient's postural deficiencies comprising:
- a first panel for supporting a patient in a standing position;
- scale means on said first panel for measuring the patient's weight on each of the patient's legs;
- a second panel mounted vertically with respect to said first panel;
- mirror means mounted on said second panel for reflecting a patient's image while said patient is standing on said first panel;
- a plurality of grid lines formed in spaced apart relation on said mirror means;
