ABSTRACT:
The method and apparatus of the present invention measures degree angle and anthropometric linear measurements of the skeletal structure of the human body. The individual stands in reference to the apparatus with the top of the sternoclavicular joint, or suprasternal notch, as a point of origin. Every individual is measured from the same beginning point. Ten component variables are taken with the measuring unit. These variables allow infield studies of individual workers at a work station or exercise on a resistance training program and/or undergoing medical treatment for biomechanical correction. By measuring bone lengths and degree angles of a human body certain characteristics or trends can be found by this systematic measuring procedure.
