Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The functional leg length difference using the video raster stereographically recorded height difference is the primary target parameter determined between the left and right lumbar dimples. The radiation-free video raster stereography system from Diers Formetric is used as the measuring device.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
As a secondary target parameter, the deviation from the perpendicular between the prominent vertebra and the mean of the lumbar dimples is determined using raster stereography. The radiation-free video raster stereography system from Diers Formetric is used as the measuring device.
