Clinical photos for database
frontal plane:1. relaxed stance, hanging arms, make sure that arms don‘t hide the pelvis2. sagittal plane- line of sight to the right: relaxed stance, make sure that elbows don‘t
hide the back profile3. best option – 2 photos: one in relaxed stance and one with frontal crossed arms
frontal plane from dorsal:4. relaxed stance, hanging arms, make sure that arms don‘t hide the pelvis5. sagittal plane line of sight to the left (same like to the right)

Clinical photos for database
• the camera has to be parallel to the grid wall and patient• if possible use Lasar posture ore other helpful accessories to project the plumbline • the measure points have to be apparent
NOTE:
• one photo should have between 150 and 250 kb• use JPG files to save and upload the photos into the data base

Measurement form and measurements
1. circumference trochanter level: apply tape measure on the trochanter level 2. circumference waist: make sure that the abdomen is relaxed and not retracted3. circumference lower breast: directly under the breast with relaxed arms and
bridge the flatback4. circumference breast: on the level of the maximum prominent point of the
breast (t8)
When taking the static measurements the patient has to be in a relaxed stance- not in correction.
All measurements have to be taken loosely, the tape measure has to be aligned horizontally.
