3.3.1 Setting up and assembly of the base.
1. Take the equipment out of its packing
2. Position the equipment in an easily accessible place, so that the patient's safety can be guaranteed. Check that the area the equipment is positioned in makes it easy for the patient to get on and off.
3. Fix the aluminum bars onto the platform using the screws included
4. Screw onto the platform the 6 supporting leg and put the rubber pieces on.
3.3.2 Setting up and assembly of the wall clamp (03003 only)
It is used for fixing the wall clamp for holding the mirror. Use the anchors included only with brick walls or reinforced concrete, have the job done by a professional.
3.3.3 Setting up and assembly of the mirror.
1. Enlarge mirror clamp an insert the mirror, interpose plastic shims and the washers. Tighten nuts to allow friction without blocking it completely.
2. Apply nuts cap.
3. Find and apply on the bars the square bolts to fix the mirror clamps using the screws included.
4. Put on the caps for covering the bars.
5. Fix the plumb line to the mirror support clamp
Do not hang from the support clamp. Do not lean on the aluminum bars. If the mirror rotates too easily and is not moving by friction you must tighten the screws until friction is achieved.

3.4 Use without software or webcam

The use without software or webcam is done for determining asymmetric points of repere at sight. To operate the equipment it must be set with the reference lines kit and clamp. Place the patient on the platform in a way that the malleolus are on line with the reference cross printed on the base platform (the malleolus must be parallel to the transversal or to the longitudinal line considering if the patient is face front or backwards with the right side or left side out), the most accurate the position, the best results of the analysis are obtained. The interested points of repere must be marked on the patient by using small adhesive discs or a dermographic pen. At this point the operator must place himself in front of the support bars and look straight to the point of repere in question and change the position of the indicators of the elastic lines and write down on a sheet of a paper the corresponding values of height indicated in the scale. Last, the operator moves away at a certain distance to look at the mirror which will show any eventual rotation/tumbling motion or backward/forward postures according to the position of the feet.
3.4.1 Examples of use
In order to obtain a good result it is necessary to follow some simple rules, so that major mistakes which invalidate the results of the analysis are avoided. Get some round sticker of about 10-15mm in diameter. Begin placing the stickers on the body of the patient.
Proceed in a way which may allow a subsequent analysis of the pathology subject of study.
It is possible to determine the points, as shown in the pictures, following one’s own school and
knowledge. Once the points have been determined it is possible to transfer the patient onto the platform of the Support Device for postural analysis.
8/28 mod.14-2016.04.21-16.40-002-ml.docx
CHINESPORT Spa - ITALIA
GB
Have the patient move onto the support platform. Do not force the patient to adopt an un-natural posture but rather let him or her put the feet in a comfortable and normal position. It is necessary to pay special attention to the position of the malleolus which must be aligned with the printed line.
After the patient is in position, the analysis of symmetries and/or asymmetries may start. Special attention must be paid as to how the measurements are done. Measuring for a given patient must always be done by the same operator: in this way the method the method for obtaining the data is always the same reducing the possibility of mistakes.
Also, special attention must be paid when looking at the plumb lines considering the point of repere placed on the patient. The eye of the operator must be at the same height of the point of repere to be considered: only in this way the parallax error is limited. Therefore, the operator must bend the legs when the points of repere are located at a point lower than the eye level or climb on a support if the patient is taller than the operator. Write down the value obtained in the patient’s portfolio.

3.5 Use with software and webcam system

It is possible to implement along with the equipment the use of software operated cameras in order to avoid the manual measuring procedures, parallax errors and subjectivity of values. The system allows the acquisition of pictures, check on asymmetries and measure leaning. It is also possible to overlap pictures the evolution of asymmetries and to create individual reports which can be viewed in PDF or printed. Contact the CHINESPORT Commercial Department for any in-depth information or configuration of the product.

3.6 Transporting the equipment

The equipment can be transported by two persons by holding the platform for short distances. We recommend packing the equipment as it was when delivered, to prevent any damage while transferring.
