An apparatus and process for measuring the motion of internal joint structures during and for measuring the function of muscles involved with the motion of a joint of a subject are disclosed. The apparatus can be configured in three forms- a horizontal, vertical, or butterfly motion control device. Each configuration comprises a static member and a moving member, in which the moving member operates to move or be moved by the subject being studied. Also disclosed are processes for using each apparatus to measure of the relative motion of a skeletal structures in a subject, in which the subject is positioned in the apparatus and commanded to move while diagnostic medical images are taken or captured. Additionally, processes for using each apparatus to specifically measure and collect data on the function of the subject's muscles are disclosed.
L'invention concerne un appareil et un procédé de mesure du mouvement de structures d'articulation internes et de mesure de la fonction de muscles impliqués dans le mouvement d'une articulation d'un sujet. L'appareil peut être configuré sous trois formes: un dispositif de commande de mouvement horizontal, vertical ou papillon. Chaque configuration comprend un élément statique et un élément mobile, l'élément mobile étant conçu pour se déplacer ou être déplacé par le sujet étudié. L'invention concerne également des procédés d'utilisation de chaque appareil afin de mesurer le mouvement relatif de structures du squelette chez un sujet, le sujet étant positionné dans l'appareil et déplacé tandis que des images médicales de diagnostic sont prises ou capturées. En outre, l'invention concerne des procédés d'utilisation de chaque appareil afin de mesurer et de collecter spécifiquement des données relatives à la fonction des muscles du sujet.
