AI Technical Summary
Existing orthopedic and physiotherapeutic examinations rely on electronic equipment to detect body region anomalies, which can be cumbersome and limit the practitioner's ability to identify such anomalies through a trained eye.
A frame with movable rubber tensions and centimeter scales, allowing practitioners to visually assess body regions by positioning the patient relative to the frame and adjusting the tensions to detect anomalies.
Enables practitioners to detect body region anomalies using their trained eye without electronic equipment, enhancing the examination process.

Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention addresses the problem that, during the initial examination by an orthopedist / physiotherapist, any anomalies of body regions can often only be revealed through the use of electronic technical equipment.
[0002] The purpose of the invention is to enable such anomalies to be detected simply by the trained eye of the practitioner.
[0003] The invention relates to a frame made of wood or aluminum, approximately 2.00 meters high and 1.50 meters wide, at the ends of which vertically and horizontally movable rubber tensions are attached.
[0004] The frame has a centimeter scale attached both vertically and horizontally.
[0005] During the orthopedic or physiotherapeutic examination, the patient, who is in underwear and barefoot, stands approximately 30 centimeters behind the frame, so that the entire body area is visually represented within the frame area for the examining doctor or physiotherapist who is in front of the frame.
[0006] By moving the rubber bands to specific body parts (trapezius, clavicle, pectoralis major, waist triangle, iliac spine), the practitioner is able to detect anomalies in the respective body regions being examined. Explanation of numbering in the sketch: 1 movable bracket 2 rubber bands 3 feet 4 Height 200-230 cm 5 wide 90-110 cm 6 measuring tapes, glued inside or outside (0-200 cm) 7 Four fields or six fields 8 frames made of wood / plastic or aluminum 9 also divisible as a plug-in system
Claims
[1] Diagnostic frame made of aluminium or wood, to the frame of which a freely movable rubber band is attached both vertically and horizontally.
