Posture Assessment & Analysis Device

SpineLine is a cutting-edge device designed to analyze and photographically document static posture with precision while monitoring its evolution over time. It utilizes a combination of technologies, including a green laser, LED lighting, and a DSLR camera.

SpineLine consists of three distinct main components:

1. A poster with a reference grid to be mounted on the wall.

2. A rotating platform for patient positioning.

3. A sturdy 2-meter-high steel and aluminum stand that supports the camera, laser, and LED lighting.

With SpineLine, it is possible to accurately visualize and document posture, body symmetry, and their alterations, thanks to a green laser reference line combined with a high-resolution reflex camera.

SpineLine stands out from other postural assessment systems due to a series of key advantages:

Stability: The sturdy construction and floor fixation prevent unintended shifts of the apparatus. This stability ensures that the patient remains the only variable in successive assessments, while the surrounding environment stays unchanged, as the camera position remains fixed. Even the position of the feet, which influences posture if altered, stays consistent. This feature is crucial for enabling direct and accurate comparisons between images—something that lighter and more affordable systems, often equipped with basic webcams, cannot guarantee. Lightweight and makeshift systems tend to move easily and, aside from being inconvenient to handle, generate unreliable, low-quality images. The need for post-processing to correct distorted, unevenly leveled, and variably angled images makes it difficult to determine whether observed alterations are genuinely due to the patient’s posture or simply a result of poor image quality and shifts in the measurement system.

Image Quality: The powerful integrated LED lighting produces bright, sharp, vivid, and high-quality images, regardless of ambient light conditions. The absence of dedicated lighting makes competing systems extremely sensitive to natural light variations throughout the day. Dependence on external light results in fluctuating shadows and, combined with the constant shift of the camera position due to lightweight, unstable stands, creates conditions unsuitable for professional use, where accuracy and repeatability of measurements are essential.

Simplified Image Analysis: SpineLine allows pre- and post-treatment images to be overlaid and viewed alternately without the need for post-processing. This simplifies and accelerates the analysis of postural changes, making even the smallest differences immediately visible without requiring software-based line tracing or modifications that could alter results. Even an untrained eye can detect variations without the risk of distortions.

Independence from Proprietary Software: SpineLine does not require any specific software or subscriptions, eliminating additional costs. This makes it a more cost-effective and straightforward solution for long-term postural analysis, even years later during a follow-up assessment.

Precision and Reliability: Thanks to the stability of the lighting and the fixed position of the measurement system, each assessment is repeatable with high precision. SpineLine is particularly reliable for long-term examinations and continuous postural measurements, ensuring consistent results over time.

Maintenance-Free: It does not require regular maintenance or recalibrations, reducing long-term costs and technical interventions.

Durability: Made from robust and resistant materials, SpineLine is designed for long-term use, making it a secure investment and a reliable tool for postural professionals for many years to come.

No, SpineLine is designed to be easy to use. With minimal initial training, operators can quickly learn to correctly position the patient, manage the device settings, and interpret the results.

SpineLine works excellently in various environments, thanks to its LED lighting that compensates for ambient light variations. Installation requires a smooth floor, free of carpets or rugs, as the feet are secured with double-sided tape, and a clear space of at least 2.70 meters behind the measurement wall.

The initial assembly and adjustment take several hours but do not need to be repeated; it is a precision task. A video tutorial and an instruction manual guide the user through the setup process.

The initial assembly and calibration, necessary to ensure perfect photos and orthogonal lines, require precision and attention. However, by carefully following the provided instructions, the process is manageable.

SpineLine is built to last, designed to provide many years of reliable postural assessments without the need for maintenance or recalibrations.

SpineLine comes with a 5-year warranty covering any material and manufacturing defects, ensuring a secure and long-lasting investment.
