Scoliograph

A scoliograph is a device that is used to measure the angle of curvature of the spine in patients with various diseases associated with the spine. It consists of two parts: an electrical measuring device and a device that measures the angle of curvature.

The principle of operation of a scoliograph is based on the fact that the patient’s spine is set in a certain position, and then the angle of curvature is measured using special sensors. The received data is displayed on the screen of the electrical measuring device.

A scoliograph can be used to diagnose various spinal diseases, such as scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis and others. It allows you to determine the degree of curvature and its direction, which helps the doctor choose the most appropriate treatment method.

However, it should be noted that a scoliograph is not the only method for diagnosing spinal diseases. In some cases, additional testing may be required, such as an x-ray or magnetic resonance imaging.

In general, a scoliograph is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal diseases, but its use should be based on the recommendations of a doctor and be under his supervision.

A scoliograph is a special device that is used to measure the angle of curvature of the spine. This device is often used in medicine to diagnose and treat scoliosis, a disease characterized by curvature of the spine to one side.

The scoliograph consists of two parts: a frame and a movable platform on which the patient is located. The platform can move vertically and horizontally, which allows you to accurately measure the angle of curvature.

When taking measurements, the patient should be in a supine position on a movable platform. The doctor or nurse immobilizes the patient's head and shoulders to prevent him from moving during the measurement. The doctor or nurse then measures the angle of the curvature using a scoliograph.

After measurement, the doctor can determine the degree of curvature and prescribe appropriate treatment. Treatment may include physical therapy, massage, bracing, or surgery.

Thus, the scoliograph is an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis. It allows you to accurately measure the angle of curvature, which helps the doctor choose the most effective treatment method.
