METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE RISK OF DEVELOPING A SKELETAL CONDITION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for calculating postural deviation values indicative of a skeletal condition risk in a patient comprising the steps of obtaining position data identifying a position in the space of body landmarks of upper body of a patient while standing relaxed and in normal posture; obtaining weight data of the patient; calculating vertical and horizontal plumb line using the position data; and calculating angle deviations values of body parts of said patient being indicative of a skeletal condition risk with respect to the plumb line position value using the position data.
