Baseline

body level

Use to determine whether body parts are

properly aligned. Ideal for Scoliosis

screening.

How to use: Hold the Baseline® body

level with gauge facing you. Extend the

moveable arms and place them on two

sites. Read the amount of tilt (in degrees)

from the scale.

Baseline

scoliosis meter

Measurements ontained with scoliosis

meter can detect scoliosis and abnormal

anteropostero curve. Use to measure un-

stable lumbosacral, cervical and thoracic

curves. Scale in cm., in. and degrees.

How to use: Hold the Baseline® scoliosis

meter in one hand and loosen the screw

on the level with the other hand. Allow the

scoliosis meter to turn in your hand, then

place the level on the side fastening it with

the screw. The lighter markings on the

rods are two(2) millimeters apart and the

heavier markings are ten (10) millimeters.

INTRODUCTION: The Baseline® body level and the Baseline® scoliosis meter are used to measure body alignment. The Baseline® body level is excellent for measuring scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine). The Baseline® scoliosis meter can detect an abnormal anteropostero curve, and measures the unstable lumbosacral, cervical and thoracic curves. USER NOTE Please consult your appropriate training material for more information on testing protocols, procedures and methods.

THORACIC DEVIATION IN DEGREES BASELINE® SCOLIOSIS METER 45 30 45 With the patient bending forward and with the rods locked, place the instrument over the thoracic rib cage with the ends of the rods touching the apex (highest point) of the curve. This point will vary on each individual. In this position you will be able to acquire the degree readings on the gauge by loosening the rod on the high side and pushing the bar down until the gauge reads “0”.

It is locked in place. The bottom block is positioned to allow the rod to touch the spinous process of the vertebra which is the apex of the thoracic curve. The bottom rod is loosened and the reading distance reading is possible.
