ABSTRACT:
A method for diagnosing in a human body a subluxation of an articulation from its normal anatomical alignment. An imagable surface is aligned generally parallel to a pair of coordinate axes which correspond to the normal anatomical alignment of the articulation. The articulation is disposed in a known position with respect to the coordinate axes, and is imaged on the imagable surface to expose the subluxed axis thereof. The image of the articulation is aligned with indicia corresponding to the coordinate axes to dispose the image in the known position with respect to indicia. The degree of subluxation of the articulation from its normal anatomical alignment then may be determined by measuring the deviation of the subluxed axis from the indicia.
