Disclosed is an apparatus of examining a patient in rachioscoliosis comprising means for: projecting a reference stripe-like pattern having a plurality of horizontal stripes on the back of the patient held by support means so as to form contour lines crossing the back; viewing the contour lines, which are distorted in dependence on the relief of the back of the patient, from an angle within the range between 1 DEG and 90 DEG with respect to the optical axis of the projection; measuring a difference between amounts of distortion on the right and left portions of the contour lines; and detecting any bilateral unsymmetricality on the basis of the measured difference. |
