Frequently Asked Questions
What is 4D technology in spine assessment?
4D technology combines 3D surface scanning with the dimension of time. This allows for continuous measurement over a period, capturing the spine's behavior during motion and compensating for natural body sway to ensure higher data accuracy.
How does the system reconstruct the spine image?
The system utilizes Moore lines, topography, and optical triangulation. By scanning the subject's back and applying a built-in biomechanical model, it generates a real-time 3D reconstruction of the spinal column.
Why is dynamic measurement important for clinical diagnosis?
Many spinal conditions are functional and only manifest during movement. By evaluating the spine in a walking state (using a plantar pressure platform), clinicians can observe gait-related imbalances that are invisible during static rest.
Does the system require manual marking of anatomical points?
No, the system features advanced software that can automatically detect and identify key anatomical landmarks such as the cervical vertebral spine (VP), sacral nadir (SP), and posterior spines (DL/DR).
Is this system suitable for scoliosis monitoring?
Yes, it is highly effective for monitoring scoliosis, pelvic tilt, and vertebral rotation. It provides a radiation-free alternative for frequent postural assessments and treatment tracking.
How does the system help with insole or prosthetic therapy?
By analyzing the gait cycle and the relationship between the feet, lower limbs, and spine, the system provides precise data to customize insoles or prosthetics and evaluate their impact on the patient's overall posture.
