ABSTRACT:
A device for three-dimensional measurements of body portions relative to overall body posture. The device includes two diverging main arms, being elongated, rigid and cylindrical, and pivotally interconnected at one end by a transverse bolt. Two elongated, rigid, cylindrical, support rods are mounted transversely to one of the main arms, one rod slidable lengthwisely thereof. Each arm includes a spirit level embedded therein, and one arm further includes a scale plate embedded therein. A transverse scale ruler is pivoted spacedly to two sleeves slidable along one and the other arm, respectively. A gravitational goniometer is mounted to the main arm not connected to the rods, for lengthwise displacement thereabout. The rods are to abut joint portions of a human body, and at least one of the spirit levels and goniometer to be levelled before the scales can be effectively used, cooperatively with comparison charts of normal dimensions-posture ratios data.
