ABSTRACT:
The machine of the present invention measures and records in terms of the ientation planes of motion the presence of, the location of and the severity of the distortion-stress effects of C-1 subluxations on the human body, making possible thereby statistical analyses of reciprocal relationships between C-1 misalignments (determined by X-ray analysis) and such 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. The machine can demonstrate the distortion-stress effects of a C-1 subluxation on the spine by checking the malpositional relationships of key vertebral segments along the spine 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 vertically movable platforms with horizontally adjustable pads on which the patient stands. The pads are individually or simultaneously adjustable toward and away from each other to properly space the feet relative to the ilii. Either of the platforms may be elevated if a "short leg" is indicated, short leg being referred to hereinafter as "contractured leg."
