FIELD: medicine, orthopedics.
SUBSTANCE: the suggested method deals with visual analysis for disposition of spinal regional borders in frontal, sagittal and horizontal planes due to applying reference points for the above-mentioned borders right onto patient's body, analysis of the data obtained followed by establishing the diagnosis according to the presence or absence of parallelism in superior and inferior regional borders. Patient should be placed into the center of strictly horizontally located bottom area developed by mutually perpendicularly applied crossing lines passing through the middles of all its sides between two vertically located plumbs coming down to the centers of anterior and posterior sides of bottom area, and two measuring tapes fixed to the middle of left and right lateral sides of bottom area being parallel to plumbs. One should successively perform graphic registration of patient's body picture by making two photopictures at the front and at the rear in frontal projection. Patient should placed so that longitudinal line of bottom area should pass between patient's joined feet, and cross-sectional one - in projection of anterior edge of talocrural joint. Two photopictures should be made right-hand and left-hand in sagittal projection. Patient should be placed so that cross-sectional line should pass between feet and longitudinal one, correspondingly, in projection of anterior edge of talocrural joint. Pictures should be made if two plumbs are coincided in a viewfinder of registration device. Then come program analysis of the picture obtained to detect affected parallelism of horizontal lines of spinal regional borders. One should determine the value of total angular deviation and that of muscular shortening affecting the statics of corresponding region and at detecting the values of corresponding parameters being distinct against the norm one should diagnose affected body posture.
EFFECT: higher accuracy and information content of the method.
