Chapter 1 An excellent solution for the evaluation of postural imbalances, easy to use, complete and basic created to obtain the maximum information with the least effort of the operator. Created by Microlab and the staf of expert posturologists and software. engineers.

Carpet for photographic postural evaluation, Fukuda and Romberg test The carpet made to standardize the acquisition of postural photos of the patient and for the execution of the march Fukuda test and evaluation platform of both static and dynamic. It is an accessory and extremely versatile thanks to the strong and flexible material in which it was made, it can be easily rolled up and stored until the next use. The graphics designed to facilitate and standardize the postural evaluation of the patient, in the first sector we find the space to position the patient and perform postural photos,...

Background Grid to postural photos The Background Grid, made with aluminum lightweight and portable, perfect as a background to make the postural photos, thanks to the vertical reference plumb line (obtained with the laser). Thanks to the versatility of the structure can be used with the support on the ground (Rool-Up) or hang on the wall. Features: Dimensions: 100x200cm Graphics: Color

Stand with cross laser Thanks to the cross-beams system is very useful for positioning of the patient and have the reference of the vertical Barré, avoiding the inconvenience of having to purchase a cumbersome and not very versatile system. This self-leveling crossed line laser is an instrument with two laser beams to draw horizontal and / or vertical lines. This laser level is self-adjusts in 8-10 seconds and even less in a +/- 3 °. The basis of the level air bubble welcomes two quality levels. After leveling the appliance, in the case of a 360 ° rotation of the laser lines remain...

The Software OrthoTP Postural ® was developed specifically for the introduction of the basic postural clinical tests used by most clinicians according to an interdisciplinary approach. The sequence of the proposed tests allows to interrogate the main receptors (Vestibular, Oculomotor and breech)

Section 2 The OrthoTP Postural Folder The Postural module developed in OrthoTP, goes well beyond the classic postural evaluation programs which, merely to objectify the static posture of the patient evaluated with the Barrè vertical, in fact OrthoTP Postural® has been enriched with all those indispensable clinical tests, for a complete postural evaluation, starting from the basic photographic analysis up to the integration of sophisticated equipment such as platforms, etc. This software is essential for the clinician to objectivate the visit and as an assessment of the patient, as well as,...

Photographic evaluation, Romberg and Fukuda test PHOTOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS Frontal: to evaluate the Harmony of the Postural Tone; Posterior: to assess the position of the head, shoulders and sacrum with respect to the vertical of Barrè; Right and left lateral: to assess the position of the head, shoulders and sacrum with respect to the posterior plane;

TEST OF ROMBERG AND FUKUDA The Romberg and Fukuda tests are the first two evaluations proposed in the sequence of clinical tests. The graphic objectification of the tests helps the clinician in assessing the postural state of the patient thanks to the immediacy of the information provided.

External Rotors, Dysmetria tests TEST OF EXTERNAL ROTATORS This type of test is used to test the tone of the External Rotator muscles of the limb to look for the ascending or descending cause of the problem on the limb in hypertonus. The test recording is performed first by objectifying the basic test and consequently the answers of the next two ascendants and descendants TEST OF DYSMETRIA The objectification of the discrepancies starts from the recording of the basal situation and gradually the evaluation of the patient with different inputs chosen by the clinician. Next to each test we...

Oculomotricity, Index Finger Tests OCULOMOTRICITY TESTS In this section all the data related to the oculomotor test in the 6 diagnostic positions are recorded, as well as the objectification of the dominant eye. INDEX FINGER TESTS The index finger test is a neurophysiological test, once the basic test is established we proceed by “interrogating” the body districts. All this is facilitated by a graphic protocol and an aid for the evaluation of the result of every single test. 1

Foot assessment, Postural Correlations FOOT ASSESSMENT The analysis of the foot support and the hindfoot is carried out according to the internationally validated Postural Podalic Index (PPI) method with the generation of the diagnostic synthesis and the digital Podogram. SUMMARY AND POSTURAL CORRELATIONS This section provides a summary of the assessments performed and related to foot support with an indication of the system’s compensation capacity. 12

COMPARISONS This section is extremely important and useful to the clinician and the patient, because it allows the comparison of the three acquired orthostatic projections (initial, intermediate and final) in order to evaluate changes in posture and therefore the trend obtained from the reprogramming of imbalances. The sequence of the individual captures produces a movie whose speed can be adjusted by the available tools.

OrthoTP Postural® is full of print reports to document any part of the posural analysis, to be printed on a printer or saved in PDF format for the exchange of information between operators or to generate the patient dossier. The report for the podiatrist, usually known as Podogram, useful for the design of the orthopedic device, was included in the prints. The most common prints are graphically summarized below.
