3D/ 4D spine and posture measurement (3D spine measurement; 4D spine measurement) using video raster stereography provides a fast and non-contact optical measurement of the back and spine without radiation exposure. It captures the interrelationships of the spine, pelvis, and back, allowing for accurate analysis of body statics and posture.
Indications
For diagnostics
- Pelvic obliquity and leg length discrepancies.
- Spinal curvatures – scolioses and kyphoses.
- Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD)
- Causes of postural dysfunction
- Early detection of postural deformity
- Causes of back pain
- One-sided, physical stress and its consequences – e.g. sitting or standing for too long.
- Muscular imbalances (muscular imbalance).
- U.v.m.
Other areas of application
- Radiation-free supplement and alternative to X-ray, in children, adolescents and pregnant women.
- Adjustment of shoe insoles
- For control after surgical interventions, e.g. after insertion of a hip joint prosthesis.
- Regular progress control of therapeutic measures
The procedure
Video raster stereography is radiation-free because it uses light beams. A grid of light is projected onto the patient’s back and recorded by a video camera. A computer program analyzes the line curvatures and generates a three-dimensional image of the back surface. Based on this virtual plaster cast of the back, the spatial course of the spine and the position of the pelvis can be reconstructed in the next step. Clear graphics enable the doctor to precisely identify the condition of your spine and make an individual diagnosis. Based on your diagnosis, targeted treatment of back pain becomes possible.
