ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for diagnosing posture abnormalities includes a video camera, a video display terminal, a subject platform positioned between the camera and the terminal so that the subject can view the terminal. A computer is employed to freeze a video image of the subject on said terminal so that an operator can obtain data regarding the relative positions of landmarks on said image using a light pen. The computer analyzes the landmark position data and generates a diagnosis of postural abnormalities of the subject. The method and apparatus may also employ a weight scale on the subject platform for transmitting data to the computer regarding the weight distribution on the feet of the subject.
