Therapy-supporting measurements with high-quality equipment. Stato-dynamic procedure for analyzing spinal posture, hip status, head balance, jaw position, body statics, posture, load on legs and feet.

Formetric 4D

The DIERS formetric 4D analysis system enables rapid static and dynamic (functional) optical measurement of the above-mentioned body segments. The procedure is radiation-free and non-contact. A wide range of clinical diagnoses and objective analyses of body statics and posture, scoliosis and all forms of spinal deformities can be made.

Functional spine and posture analysis with DIERS Formetric 4D

The latest development in 4D technology is groundbreaking for entry into functional clinical measurement technology, for increasing measurement accuracy (4D averaging) and for avoiding measurement errors caused by posture variations. On the one hand, it enables static measurements, which can be determined using serial images over a time axis, and on the other, measurements during body movement (walking, running).

Range of applications

Spinal posture
Scoliotic misalignments
Lordosis, kyphosis angle
Pelvic position
Leg length differences
Foot misalignments
Head posture, jaw position – Cranio-mandibular dysfunctions (CMD)
Functional analyses
Swaying, tendency to fall
…and more

Cervical Spine Measurement

The “Cervical spine measurement” module measures the mobility of the cervical spine (range of motion) in three dimensions. The directions of movement flexion, extension, lateral flexion on the left and right and rotation to the left and right are measured. The measurement data and asymmetries are displayed graphically.

Pedography

The connection of a foot pressure measuring system completes the analysis of the musculoskeletal system and provides important additional clinical information.

Measurements

Static 3D image
– Single shot
4D Averaging
– Imaging sequences reduce posture variations – higher clinical informative value
4D dynamic
– Recording of movement sequences – analysis of the movement of the entire body and the skeleton (spine, pelvis)
4D posture test
– Assessment of coordinative abilities and muscular deficits – visualization of volume and shape changes using the reconstructed spine
Romberg test
– Balance test
Mattihaß test
– Arm hold test
