ABSTRACT:
The machine of the present invention measures and records in terms of the orientation planes of motion the presence of, the location, of and the severity of the postural distortion-stress effects of C-1 subluxations on the human body, making possible thereby statistical analyses between C-1 misalignments (determined by X-ray analysis) and such postural distortion-stress effects on the skeletal framework as directly result from the misalignment interferences of C-1 on the nervous system and its normal functioning. This machine can demonstrate the postural distortion-stress effects of C-1 subluxation on the spine by checking the malpositional relationships of upper thoracic vertebral segments and pelvis prior to and subsequent to C-1 correction, indicating thereby the corrections obtainable throughout the spine and thus reducing the need for repeated applications of X-radiation to the patient. The machine has movable elements which provide indications of corrections or displacement and has a pair of weight sensitive platforms with horizontally adjustable pads (foot guides). The platforms are coupled to force transducers which indicate a means for measuring the portion of total body weight that is supported by each of the patient's feet. The pads are individually or simultaneously adjustable toward and away from each other to properly space the feet relative to the ilii.
