DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE FOR STATIC SKELETON DISTURBANCES IN PATIENTS WITH VERTEBRAGENOUS PAIN SYNDROMES Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B5/103 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, orthopaedics, and can be used for diagnostics of static skeleton deformations in the patients with vertebragenous pain syndromes. That is ensured by bitrochanterial, bicostal, anterior bispinal, biacromial, biaxillar, biscapular, posterior bispinal, bigluteal lining from both sides of the body. Then a laser range finder is used to measure the distance to the body points and plotting the lining projections. The derived chart is used to position the lines and an angle of turn of the lines relative to the frontal axis and each other and to consider the ventral or dorsal displacement of the trunk parts. Then vessels of a water balance are applied to the points of the trunk surface to measure the position of these points. Projections of the lines are plotted. The derived chart provides determining the relative asymmetry of the homo- and counterlateral points and the angle of turn of the lines relative to the horizontal axis. They are used to consider the lateral inclination of the separate trunk parts homolaterally or counterlaterally. Then spinous processes of vertebra are palpated to mark their position on the vertical axis. The projection position chart of the scoliotic arc vertexes is plotted on the frontal plane to consider the trunk deviation.

EFFECT: method allows for more precise and quantitative estimation of static body asymmetries and vertebral deformation, to get an evident graphic presentation.
