Device for measurement and signalling of articular amplitude

Abstract

Abstract Device for measurement and signalling of the articular amplitudes of the human body. The invention relates to a device measuring the amplitude simultaneously with the movement and signalling with electronic elements preselected angulations. It is constituted by a casing 1 articulating around a disc 2 which is graduated and weighted 3 at its base. When the casing 1 is put on a segment in motion of a human body, the casing 1 varies its position with respect to the disc 2 and it is possible directly to read the angulation on a marker 5 situated at the bottom of the casing. The system is completed by two elements which make contact, one 4 which is adjustable on the disc, the other fixed on the casing opposite the marker 5. This contact via a battery 6 and a time-delay relay 7 supplies the audio (buzzer) 8 and visual (bulb) 9 signalling elements and optionally remotely a pulse counter 10. The device according to the invention is in particular intended for physical medicine and kinesitherapy.
