Experimental Device for Determining Deviations in the Thoracolumbar Part of the Human Back

Abstract

The article deals with the design and construction of an experimental device for measuring deviations in the thoracolumbar area of the human back. The article describes the devices construction, processing of measured data in the program MATLAB and the interpretation of the data in the form of a 3-D model. From this experimental device we would like to contribute to existing measuring devices with similar accuracy albeit in a more compact and user friendly package, which doesn't require a high degree of qualification to operate.
