Description
Key Features:
Comprehensive Kit: It's designed as a complete set for professional posture analysis. The kit includes a wall grid, a suspension cord, and a plumb bob.
Wall Grid: The main component is a large wall grid, typically measuring 25" x 48", which is used as a backdrop to visually assess a patient's posture. The grid lines help a clinician identify and document deviations from ideal postural alignment.
Plumb Bob and Suspension Cord: These are crucial tools for accurate alignment. The plumb bob hangs from the suspension cord, providing a perfectly vertical line of gravity against which the patient's posture can be evaluated from the front, back, and side.
Portable and Versatile: The kit is designed to be easily set up. The grid and other components can be suspended from a ceiling or a wall bracket, making it suitable for a variety of clinical or educational settings.
Optional Scanner: Some versions of the kit may include a desktop scanner with an angle sight for more precise and quantitative measurements of postural deviations.
Uses:
The Posture Evaluation Kit is a standard diagnostic tool used in several professional settings:
Physical and Occupational Therapy: Therapists use the kit to perform a baseline postural assessment of a patient. This helps them identify the root causes of musculoskeletal pain, create a targeted treatment plan, and track a patient's progress over time.
Chiropractic: Chiropractors use the kit to evaluate spinal alignment and identify any postural imbalances that may be contributing to a patient's condition.
Rehabilitation: It is used in rehabilitation programs for patients recovering from injuries or surgery, as it helps to assess and correct any postural compensations.
Athletic Training and Sports Medicine: Coaches and trainers may use a posture kit to evaluate an athlete's posture to identify imbalances that could affect performance or lead to injury.
