OPTICAL GONIOMETER FOR THE ESTIMATION OF MOBILITY IN THE ELBOW JOINT.

摘要

The present invention relates to an image acquisition device (10) coupled to a structure comprising clamping devices (70), an endless screw (20), two gears (30), and a motor direct current (40) for the movement thereof. Its development is based on digital image processing, composed of a device for acquisition of high definition images (10) installed in a metal structure of adjustable height. Said device connects by a communication bus (60) to a device for digital image processing (80) in which the images captured from the elbow are digitally processed, and determines through software the maximum flexion and extension angles thereof.
