Palpation Meter (PALM)

The objective way to do Skeletal Alignment Evaluations. The Palpation Meter (PALM) combines the ease and proprioceptive advantages of palpation with the objectivity and reliability of caliper and inclinometer measurements. The caliper determines the distance in centimeters between the two palpating fingers. The inclinometer determines the inclination in degrees between the two palpating fingers. A unique slide rule calculator gives you the height discrepancy between the two landmarks palpated in both centimeters and inches.

Typical Use: Differentiating between a Functional and a Structural Short Leg. The PALM will help you differentiate what part of a leg length inequality is structural and what part is functional. Measurement of the iliac crest heights in the standing position determines if there is a relative height difference. Measurement of the iliac crests relative heights in the seated position removes height discrepancies due to lower extremity asymmetries.

Posture Evaluation Kit

A complete postural evaluation program for keeping permanent records. Consists of a plastic posture grid, 25" x 48" that can be suspended from ceiling or wall bracket. Includes posture score sheets, suggested procedures, suspension cord and plumb bob for alignment. The desktop scanner with angle sight (included with kit) can be used for more precise posture appraisals.

#42PS..... Posture Evaluation Kit: $369.00

Scoliometer

Will accurately measure six areas to detect scoliosis and provide three measurements to detect abnormal anteropostero curves. Evaluates progress during treatment without the necessity of client X-rays. It allows the recording of transient structural scoliosis as the client's symptoms are relieved. Also measures the unstable lumbosacral curve as well as the cervical and thoracic curves. Calibrated in centimeters, millimeters and degrees. Comes complete with instructions.

#41SC..... Scoliometer: $499.00

Large Anthropometer

The Large Anthropometer has a range of 0 to 60 cm in 0.1 cm increments. Popular uses include measuring shoulder width, long bone length and chest depth for tracking growth and development of children or for use in motion analysis studies. Aluminum in construction, it uses a spring-loaded ball bearing in a sliding C-shaped arm to provide accurate and precise measurement

#1801290..... Anthropometer- Large: $150.00

Small Anthropometer

Use this Anthropometer for measuring wrist, elbow, knee and ankle widths as well as measuring smaller muscle masses like the bicep and calf. The Small Anthropometer has a range of 0 to 30 centimeters in 0.1 centimeter increments. It is constructed of lightweight aluminum and uses a spring loaded ball bearing in the sliding C-shaped arm to provide accurate, precise movement.

#1801291..... Anthropometer- Small: $130.00

Chest Caliper

This aluminum instrument accurately measures chest depth in inches or centimeters. Popular uses include measuring maximum chest expansion from resting to full inspiration. Range is from 0 to 24" in 0.50" graduations (0 to 60 cm with 2.0 cm graduations)

#1801140..... Chest Caliper: $65.00

Measures as a direct readout of the circumference of a finger joint or digit. Ruler is transparent.

#087501..... Finger Circumference Gauge-Inches: $10.99

#087508..... Finger Circumference Gauge-centimeters: $10.99

Provides precise circumferential measurement for progressive Anthropometric exams, regardless of examiner's measurement techniques. Contains spring attachment for constant tension and precision. Tape measures in inches and centimeters.

#4192G..... Gulick Anthropometric Tape: $24.95
