SU685277A1 - Apparatus for determining antropometric parameters of human body - Google Patents

Description

one

The invention relates to the field of medical technology and is intended to determine the anthropometric parameters of the human body in orthopedic diseases.

A device is known for determining the anthropometric parameters of a human body, comprising a bar with a scale on which two drivers with guides are mounted, rulers located in the guides, and a protractor in the form of an arrow - a plumb with a scale.

However, the known device has low functionality and does not allow to determine the parameters of the human body during scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis and congenital dislocations.

The aim of the invention is the ability to determine parameters for scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis and congenital dislocations.

The goal is achieved by the fact that in the proposed device, cylindrical guides with movable spokes mounted in them, the axes of which are perpendicular to the plane of the bar and rulers, are placed at the ends of the rulers;

tips whose radius is equal to the distance from the spoke axis to the corresponding end of the ruler.

The leash windows are made in the leashes.

FIG. 1 shows the described device for determining the anthropometric parameters of the human body, front view; in fig. 2 - the same, top view.

The device contains a rod 1 with a scale on which the movable

Two levers 2 are shown with guides (not shown in the drawing), rulers 3 arranged in guides, a protractor 4 in the form of a plumb bob 5 with a scale 6. At the ends of the rulers 3 cylindrical guides 7 are spaced with movably mounted the spokes 8, the axes of which are perpendicular to the plane of the rod 1 and the rulers 3. At the ends of the spokes 8 are made ball tips

5 9, the radius of which is equal to the distance from the axis of the spokes to the corresponding end of the ruler, and in liner 2, the sighting windows are made.

Measurement of anthropometric parameters using the proposed

The device is manufactured as follows.

When measuring linear parameters of a hump, the device is installed relative to the patient's hump so that the rod .1 is located above the hump horizontally, which is determined by the zero position of the plumb bob 5. Next, one of the vertical rulers 3 is moved with the help of a corresponding driver 2 to the left and its end is set to the top of the hump, having previously moved the ruler to its extreme upper position (origin). Another line 3 is moved with the help of its leash to the right up to the hollow on the patient's back and set its end to the lowest point of the hollow.

The device thus installed shows the distance between the highest point of the hump and the lowest point of the depression (determined by the total index in the windows 10 of the left and right drivers 2) and the height of the hump (determined by the indication in window 10 of the right driver 2).

The measurement of the angle of inclination of the hump is made as follows.

Vertical rulers 3 are brought to the extreme upper position, and their ends are set respectively on the top of the hump and on the lowest point of the depression.

Installed in this way, the device shows the angle of inclination of the hump (determined by the indication of the arrow-plumb 5 of the protractor 4) and the distance from the top of the hump to the lowest point of the dimple at a given angle of inclination of the hump (determined by the total reading in the windows 10 of the left and right leashes 2).

The measurement of the angle of inclination of the pelvis, is as follows.

In the guides of the 7 vertical lines 3, the spokes 8 are inserted. The vertical lines 3 are brought to the extreme upper position. Then one of the speed 8 is installed on the corresponding point of the pelvis behind (from the back), and the other - on the corresponding point of the pelvis in front.

Installed in this way, the device shows the angle of inclination of the pelvis (determined from the reading of the plumb bob 5 of the protractor 4).

To measure the degree (angle) of the pelvic obliquity of the ruler 3, it is mixed into the uppermost position, and the spokes are set respectively at the highest and lowest points of the pelvis.

Installed in this way, the device indicates the degree of pelvic obliquity (determined by the reading of the plumb bob 5).

Thus, the proposed device allows to measure the linear and angular parameters not only of the hump but also of the chest and pelvis, which is an extension of the functional capabilities of the device.

The proposed device is convenient to handle both in the hospital and in outpatient conditions. Using the device, it is possible to obtain objective data on the nature of angular and linear measurements of various parts of the human body of patients with different forms of orthopedic diseases.
