The is ideally suited for the Healthcare professional and provides an individualized assessment of musculoskeletal form and function, postural deviation detection, and corresponding personalized corrective exercises.

The system is a web-based assessment biomechanical tool that is both easy to use and amazingly effective. Taking almost 11 years of scientific testing and programming to develop this system enables a health care professional to perform evaluations non-invasively and generate detailed assessments and personalized correction programs.

The healthcare professional positions light-reflective anatomical markers at specific locations on the client's body and takes four pictures from different views. The markers provide data for a detailed biomechanical analysis. The entire process takes a maximum of ten minutes for each client. The healthcare professional then accesses our website and uses our web-based software to scan the images and extract the location of the anatomical markers.

Client pictures are never sent over the internet the data is sent to a data center for automatic processing. A detailed biomechanical analysis is then automatic performed. The system computes many fundamental biomechanical variables that allow us to determine joint compression forces, deviations from vertical and horizontal alignment, and the client's center of gravity. Muscle function underlying these biomechanical properties as well as appropriate stretching and strengthening exercises are determined and documented in the BioPrint report.

THR PROCESS


Data acquisition of four digital images:
* Patent-pending reflective markers are applied

* Digital images are taken: Lateral, posterior, and anterior

* The IMAGES on the Compact Card are transferred from digital camera and inserted into media cradle on the computer.

Step  

Analyzing the Posture



* Images: HIPPA Compliant scanning & correction

* Reference points extracted from Client *

De-identified information extracted from Client

Step  

Detecting and Correcting Deviations


Expert Data Analysis and Assessment on Web Server:

* Deviations identified and prioritized * Joints and the appropriate muscles to tretch or strengthen targeted

* Progressive corrective exercise program generated

* Healthcare professional reviews, approves or modifies the automatically generated information. All BioPrints are approved and signed by a healthcare professional.

Step  


Tracking Progress

Our tracking capabilities allow the healthcare professional to:

* Track the patient's musculoskeletal improvements

* Quantify their progression

* Provide the client with a revised exercise regimen as required

Step  



the includes:

* An introduction informing the patient about the basics on biomechanics

*

 Three pictures (anterior, posterior, and laterals) of the patients showing postural evaluation results
* Tables with deviation angles and distances from the postural axes
* Tables with compression and moment of force
* Graph showing the center of gravity projected to the floor
* A 10-weeks corrective exercises program
* Clinical summary
