Definitions
- the invention relates to a measuring instrument, such as for example a measuring tape, for determining an anatomical measurement point.
- the determination of an exact measurement point is highly important for the reliable and comparable execution of various medical measurements.
- Inaccuracy is caused by mutual size differences between various patients, whereby the determination of a mutually common anatomical measurement site is often a difficult, tedious and inexact process. Due to inaccuracy, the measuring results are not necessarily comparable with each other.
- the invention pursues to offer such an instrument which enables the anatomical measurement point to be repeatedly determined precisely and rapidly in an anatomically comparable manner with one and the same patient, but also with patients of various sizes.
- the measuring instrument of the invention for determining an anatomical measurement point is characterized by what is presented in claim 1 directed to a measuring instrument.
- the measuring instrument is most preferably an elongated article and comprises an alignment point, by means of which a first end of the measuring head can be aligned with a first anatomical reference site of the patient.
- a first anatomical reference ' site can be for example the lower extremity of tibia or the proximal end of ulna.
- the measuring instrument further comprises a first elongated scale, which in turn comprises a plurality of reference measurement point candidates for a second anatomical reference site.
- the point selected from among the reference measurement point candidates to serve as the reference measurement point will be the one, in alignment with which falls some other anatomical reference site of this particular patient, for example the upper extremity of tibia or the end of elbow.
- the measuring instrument comprises a second elongated scale, which corresponds to the first elongated scale and which comprises a plurality of measurement point candidates, such that at least one of said measurement point candidates matches said selected reference measurement point.
- the anatomical measuring point will be determined by means of a measurement point of the second scale which matches the selected reference measurement point.
- the second scale has most preferably a certain relationship with said first scale, whereby, as the patient's size changes, the site of a measurement point determined by the measuring instrument's second scale is also adapted to become scaled in proportion to the anatomical size of a patient.
- the measuring instrument of the invention is for example a tape measure with said scales printed or output thereon, or produced with some other method familiar to a skilled person.
- the tape measure is most preferably a measuring tape, which comprises an adhesive surface on one of its faces and which is preferably disposable and thereby highly hygienic.
- the measuring instrument may also be a measuring ribbon or a measuring stick or the like device.
- said measuring instruments can be incorporated in an article comprising several measuring instruments, for example in a roll consisting of several tape-type measuring instruments.
- the tape roll comprising measuring tapes of the invention is particularly beneficial as measuring tapes can be kept in store more easily, as well as protected for example from dirt and, moreover, easily and conveniently picked up and used.
- fig. 1 shows one exemplary measuring instrument according to one preferred embodiment of the invention
- fig. 2 shows another exemplary measuring instrument according to one preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Figs. 1 and 2 show some examples of measuring instruments 100, 200 of the invention.
- the measuring instrument 100, 200 comprises an alignment point 101 for aligning a first end of the measuring head with an anatomical reference site, as well as a first scale 102 which in turn comprises a plurality of reference measurement point candidates 102a-102c for a second anatomical reference site.
- the measuring instrument 100, 200 comprises a second scale 03, which corresponds to the first scale 102 and which comprises a plurality of measurement point candidates 103a-103c such that one of these always matches one reference measurement point (reference point 102a is matched by measurement point 103a, reference point 102b is matched by measurement point 103b, etc.).
- the actual measurement point becomes selected by means of a reference measurement point determined by the second anatomical site as described elsewhere in this document. For example, if the second anatomical site falls in alignment with the reference measurement point candidate 102b of the first scale, the measurement point selected from among the second scale measurement point candidates will be 103b, at which measurement point said measurement shall then be conducted.
- the measuring instrument 200 may comprise a third scale 104, which corresponds to the first scale and which comprises a measurement point 104a-104c matching at least said reference measurement point 102a-102c for determining some other anatomical measurement point as depicted in fig. 2.
- the measuring instrument 200 may have its second and third scales 103, 104 comprise a plurality of measurement point candidates, said scales having each measurement point candidate thereof adapted to match one of said first reference measurement point candidates on the first scale, whereby a single determination may enable the determination of two measurement points, for example in the case of a shin measurement.
- the measurement point selected from among the second scale measurement point candidates will be 103b, and from among the third scale measurement point candidates it will be 104b, said measurement being then conducted at these measurement points.
- the measurement can be conducted at two sites.
- the third scale may be adapted for measuring some anatomical site other than said second scale, for example such that a measurement point from the shin is determined by means of the second scale and from the forearm by means of the third scale.
- the second and third scales have most preferably a certain relationship with said first scale, whereby, as the patient's size changes, the site of a measurement point determined b the measuring instrument's second and third scales is also adapted to become scaled in proportion to the anatomical size of a patient.
- the second scale 103 has its initial point 103i at 1/3 of a distance from the alignment point 101 with respect to an initial point 102i of the first scale 102, and that the third scale has its initial point 104i at 2/3 of a distance from the alignment point with respect to the first scale initial point 102L
- the second scale has a length of 1/3 and/or the third scale has a length of 2/3 of the length of said first scale.
