SPINAL CURVATION DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS USING 3D MODELING OF MUSCULOSKELETAL COBB'S ANGLE AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a spinal curvature diagnosis system using a three-dimensional model and a diagnosis method thereof and includes a small measuring instrument and a computer displaying diagnosis results. The measuring instrument has: a traveling assistance device which assists a movement of traveling along a spine of a patient; a distance measuring unit which measures a Z-axis distance; a tilt measuring unit which measures tilts of X-axis and Y-axis; and a measurement control unit which makes a connection with a measurement operation of the distance measuring unit so as to output the tilts of the X-axis and the Y-axis measured by the measuring unit. The computer visually displays a three-dimensional spine image and a Cobb′s angle figure and three-dimensional model generated by using coordinates of the spine calculated from the Z-axis distance and the tilts of the X-axis and Y-axis which are measured by the measurement instrument and a reference spinal model.
