Method for creating custom orthopedic supports from computerized data inputs
Systems and methods of measuring feet and designing and creating orthopedic inserts are described. A leg length discrepancy of a user is measured and this data, along with foot size are input into a computer. The computer then creates a computer model of a custom shoe insert based on this information. The computer model is then sent to a 3D printer to print the insert. The insert consists of a base insert with partial correction, and several additional layers that are added successively over time until a full correction is obtained. This eliminates any pain associated with a fully corrective insert, and allows the body to adjust gradually to the correction.
System and method for sizing device and erection ring
A system and method directed for a sizing device and erectile ring is described where the sizing device properly measures one's girth to correctly find the proper size erection ring. The sizing device has a measuring tape that will slide through a plurality of perimeter components with a track running through each of the perimeter components for the measuring tape to easily travel through whereby a measurement is then obtained when the perimeter components come into contact with the penis whereby then an erectile is created from the sizing.
PERSON BED HAVING A SENSING APPARATUS FOR BODY STATICS FOR IMAGING MEDICAL EXAMINATION DEVICES
The patient couch (1) serves for carrying out radiological medical imaging examinations by X-ray, tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance and other imaging methods. The person rests thereon in lying position for the creation of tomographic and other images. The patient couch is equipped with a capturing device, for measuring the patient's body or certain sites of the patient's body by optical, laser-optical, mechanical or electromechanical methods and/or devices. The couch has footrests for positioning the soles of the feet as when standing on vertical supporting faces with natural spreading of the feet, as well as portions for capturing at least the positions of the knee joints, the hip joint, the pelvic bone, the shoulders and the head. Further, the couch is equipped with pressure sensors for measuring the local supported weights of the various supported body sites, for reproducibly capturing the position of the skeleton with regard to its center axis as well as any rotations of shoulder and/or hip.
ORGAN IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CAPTURING ORGAN IMAGE
An organ image capture device is provided with an imaging unit, a display unit, and an information extracting unit. The imaging unit images an organ of a living body and acquires an image thereof. The display unit displays, together with the image acquired by imaging by the imaging unit, an indicator for specifying an organ imaging position satisfying an imaging condition including a condition relating to illumination at the time of imaging by the imaging unit. The information extracting unit extracts information necessary for diagnosing the degree of health of the living body from an image which is acquired by imaging by the imaging unit and is within a range specified by the indicator.
Method and system for measuring anatomical dimensions from a digital photograph on a mobile device
A mobile, hand-held communication device with a digital touch screen display and a camera for acquiring an image of the human body is programmed to function as a digital anthropometer. The user digitizes anatomical landmarks on the displayed image to quickly obtain linear measurements which are used with a known morphological relationship to make an anatomical prediction for clothing measurement, body composition and postural displacement with accuracy and without external equipment.
LOOP-BASED MEASURING DEVICE
The present invention will provide a measuring device embedded within an elastic garment that will provide detect bodily movement by deforming a conductive material and measuring the change in electrical quantities within the conductive material as it deforms. Furthermore, the present invention will provide a measuring device configured to incorporate machine learning algorithms to estimate physiological, kinematic, dynamic, psychological, physical, biological, or other health parameters based upon the variations in electrical quantities within the conductive material as it deforms. This is accomplished through an elastic textile, a conductive element embedded within the elastic textile, and an electronic device configured to measure electrical quantities of the conductive element. These elements work in conjunction to detect and monitor movement in the human body.
System and method for patient positioning
The present disclosure relates to a positioning system suitable for use in an imaging system. The positioning system may include one or more cameras configured to capture images or videos of an imaging object and surrounding environment thereof for ROI targeting or patient position recognition. The positioning system may also include one or more position probes and sources configured to determine an instant location of an imaging object or an ROI thereof in a non-contact manner.
OPERATIONAL SYSTEM ON A WORKPIECE AND METHOD THEREOF
The present invention provides an ergonomic operational system and method thereof for a human operator such as a dental surgeon in image guided implantation. A physical or virtual display in close proximity to, or integrated with, the dental drill shows the information that demands a high frequency of observation from the surgeon. The surgeon is thus able to monitor the drilling site and the display at the same time, without moving his head toward other display not within his field of view. The invention exhibits numerous technical merits such as simplicity of operation, improved operational safety, higher productivity, and enhanced efficiency, among others.
TOOTH DISPLAY MEASUREMENT DEVICE
A tooth display measurement device includes a measurement portion, an inner surface and an outer surface. A tooth rest platform projects outwardly from the inner surface. The tooth rest platform is spaced between the upper end and the lower end, and ruler markings are printed or otherwise affixed on the outer surface. A a handle projects from the lower end of the measurement portion. The device assists in an accurate reading of tooth display as the measurement portion is inserted between the lip and the teeth of the user with the tooth rest platform abutting the biting edge of the tooth to be measured.
Method and system for postural analysis and measuring anatomical dimensions from a digital three-dimensional image on a mobile device
A mobile, hand-held communication device with a digital display, and a 3D camera for acquiring a three-dimensional image of the human body is programmed to function as a digital anthropometer. The user digitizes anatomical landmarks on the displayed image to quickly obtain anatomical measurements which are used with a known morphological relationship to make an anatomical prediction for clothing measurement, body composition, orthotic and insert manufacturing, and postural displacement with accuracy and without external equipment.
