ABSTRACT:
Weight Distribution Measuring Instruments which provide accurate simultaneous readings showing how a patient's weight is distributed between the heels and balls of his feet whereby to provide clinical information to a physician as to whether or not an injury causes that patient to favor one leg or one portion of his leg unconsciously; this is accomplished by providing a base with two separate pairs of foot pads, one pair for each heel and ball of each foot, and by making the heel and ball positions mechanically adjustable with respect to each other to compensate for variations in foot size; a separate read out gauge is provided for and hydraulically coupled to each foot pad to provide an accurate reading of the weight presented to each pad; valves are provided to lock the readings of the gauges at any selected time.
