Abstract: A process for technically measuring the texture of the surface of the human skin by the recording, reproduction and analysis of image data in which grey-scale images of the skin or a print of the skin surface (replica) are made under targeted lighting of the skin or replica at a predetermined angle of illumination, mathematical characteristics of the grey-scale distribution are found via digital image processing and a) images of a plane structure of differing contrast are also produced and characteristics are found via the grey-scale transitions and/or b) the run lengths of a grey-scale value and analysed with reference to their standard distribution and distribution functions and significant deviations.

Abstract: In the generation of cephalometric images, for example in orthodontic analysis, a probe (13) linked to a computer (1) is used to determine directly the positions of anatomical points of the head (12) of a subject which is held in place by a restrainer (6). The position of the tip of the probe is determined using sonic transmitters (14) and receivers (4). The points located by the probe are used to determine the positions of anatomical landmarks for cephalometric tracings including, by means of extrapolation, some that are inaccessible to the probe. These are then used to produce a cephalometric tracing which can be superimposed on a video image of the subject's head. The use of x-rays or invasive techniques is avoided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glove for making goniometric measures, i.e. angular measurements, of a wearer's hand and a method of manufacture of the same. The glove is adapted for use in the assessment of hand mobility in medical applications and is particularly useful for misshaped hands. The glove comprises a palmar panel with finger sections extending short of the distal interphalangeal joint and preferably proximal to the proximal interphalangeal joint of a wearer, and a dorsal panel having finger sections extending to almost the tip of the finger of the wearer and attachment means to strap the overhang to the wearer's fingers.

Abstract: An anatomic torsion monitor includes an examination table (A) equipped with forcibly extendable pads (54, 56) which are utilized to rotationally displace a patient (P) about the patient's transverse axis. A laser (84), or other such pointer, is disposed on a platform (90) which rests across the abdomen of the patient (P) to measure the rotational displacement. The output of the laser (84) is projected onto a scaled chart (100). Clockwise and counterclockwise rotational displacements of the patient (P) as a function of applied forces are obtained by reading the projection of the laser (84) on the scaled chart (100) as the forces are applied and withdrawn. Plotting the rotational displacement versus force on a Cartesian coordinate system produces a continuous, bounded, four quadrant hysteresis loop (116). The data obtained and the hysteresis loop (116) produced therefrom provide a quantitative measure of the motion quality and the motion quantity of the lower back and is subject to detail analytic and medical application.

Abstract: A device and method for measuring force systems is provided. The device measures and displays one or more components of a force syystem generated by medical or dental appliances or body tissues. The invention provides a probe (10) or attachment device for engaging the structure to be measured, such as orthodontic springs, wires, and appliances; surgical fixation devices; and body tissue. The probe transmits the force system produced by the structure to a sensor bar (12) which is attached to the probe. The sensor bar resolves the force system being measured into electrical signals. A device (66) is used to display representations of the electrical signals.
