Abstract:
A standing posture measuring device provides a comprehensive objective analysis of the standing posture of a patient by measuring shoulder inclination, pelvic tilt in both frontal and sagittal planes, leg length discrepancy, and the difference in weight bearing of each leg. The device includes a base with two vertical side poles extending upward therefrom. The poles include electronic rulers for measuring leg lengths, while the base includes a weight scale for each foot for measuring a difference in weight bearing. The poles also support a shoulder inclination instrument and a pelvic inclination instrument that measures both lateral pelvic tilt and the angle of pelvis tilt in the sagittal plane.
