ABSTRACT:
The machine of the present invention measures degree angle and anthropometric linear measurements of the skeletal structure of the human body. The individual stands behind the machine with the top of their sternoclavicular joint at 0 degree line. Because every individual is measured from the same beginning point a study can be done according to the data collected. From here 10 componet variables are taken with the measuring unit. These variables are entered into a computer data base for calculation. This now begins an infield study of individual workers at a work station or exercise on a resistance training program and or undergo medical treatment for biomechanical correction. Studying repetitive motion injuries in the work force is one example. (non-surgical). By measuring bone lengths and degree angles of a human body we have found that certain characteristics or trends can be found by this systematic measuring procedure. For example we have found that clients with equal bone lengths in upper legs (femur) and torso length, plus a shorter length in lower leg (tibia) have a 0 degree torso deflection range, these individuals experience chronic low back pain. This means these individuals are at extremely high risk of experiencing a lower lumbar injury that can injure them greatly. 9 other graphs are generated so reaching, bending, twisting, pressing, pulling, and sitting can be broken down into exact biomechanical movements for a specific muscle range group. All measurements are taken with the individual standing behind the measuring unit in a relaxed posture.
