The Formetric 3D
Spine, Pelvis and Posture Analysis in 3D
Fast, contactless, radiation-free -- the Formetric uses a fast (40 milliseconds) hi-defi nition optical measurement of the surface of the back of your patient to produce graphical, clinical and analytical information on the spine, the pelvis and posture.
Ideal for chiropractors, the Formetric provides clinical information to develop your diagnostics and treatments and to document your treatment outcomes.
The Formetric’s radiation-free and non-intrusive qualities allow you to repeatedly do multiple scans of your patients e.g. before and immediately after.
A complement to your radiology equipment, the Formetric does not require any license and special building construction, nor any lengthy training for its accurate and repeatable measurements.
What the experts are saying...
“ The high accuracy of this method
(Formetric) used on scoliosis patients
was clinically confi rmed by Drerup,
et al. and compared with customary
thorax radiographs by Hackenberg,
et al.”

“ The non-invasive method of
examination of the body posture
off ers the possibility to analyse the
prospective development of the
jaw position and the body posture
of children and youths with the
possible infl uence of an orthodontic
therapy included in the treatment
objectives.”
