Baseline Body Level – Posture and Scoliosis Screening

Product Description

Baseline Body Level – Posture and Scoliosis Screening Instrument

The Baseline Body Level is a professional clinical assessment instrument designed to measure body alignment, postural asymmetry and differences in shoulder and pelvic positioning. Ideal for scoliosis screening, postural assessment and musculoskeletal evaluation, it enables healthcare professionals to measure and record body tilt in degrees.

Featuring adjustable measuring arms and an easy-to-read level gauge, the instrument provides a practical method of identifying uneven body positioning and documenting changes during clinical assessment. It can be used as part of a wider examination of spinal alignment and posture.

Features and Benefits

• Postural Alignment Assessment: Helps clinicians assess whether two anatomical reference points are level and identify differences in shoulder or pelvic height.
• Scoliosis Screening: Designed to support the evaluation of postural asymmetry and potential signs of spinal curvature as part of a professional screening procedure.
• Degree Measurement: Integrated level gauge enables angular differences to be read and recorded in degrees.
• Adjustable Measuring Arms: Extendable arms allow positioning across two anatomical reference points for accurate and repeatable assessment.
• Shoulder and Pelvic Tilt Measurement: Suitable for comparing shoulder levels and pelvic alignment during standing postural examinations.
• Clinical Monitoring: Numerical measurements can help practitioners document findings and compare assessments over time.
• Professional Assessment Tool: Suitable for use by appropriately trained physiotherapists, orthopaedic clinicians, rehabilitation professionals and other healthcare practitioners.

Clinical Applications

The Baseline Body Level can be used in a range of professional assessment settings, including:

• Postural screening and assessment of body symmetry.
• Scoliosis screening and spinal alignment evaluation.
• Measurement of shoulder tilt and pelvic obliquity.
• Musculoskeletal and orthopaedic examinations.
• Physiotherapy and rehabilitation assessments.
• Recording changes in postural alignment during follow-up examinations.

How to Use the Baseline Body Level

1. Prepare the instrument: Check calibration and ensure the gauge is correctly zeroed before measurement.
2. Position the patient: Ask the patient to adopt the appropriate position for the assessment, such as standing upright for shoulder or pelvic alignment measurements.
3. Adjust the arms: Hold the Body Level with the gauge facing the examiner and extend the movable arms to reach the two selected anatomical reference points.
4. Take the measurement: Position the arms against the selected sites using consistent, gentle pressure.
5. Read the result: Observe the level gauge and record the amount of tilt in degrees.
6. Document findings: Record the measurement alongside relevant clinical observations for comparison during subsequent assessments.

For shoulder alignment assessment, the instrument can be positioned at the acromioclavicular region. For pelvic alignment, measurements can be taken using appropriate anatomical landmarks around the iliac crests. Assessment techniques should follow established clinical protocols.

Important Information

The Baseline Body Level is intended to support clinical screening and assessment. It does not independently diagnose scoliosis or other spinal conditions. Measurements should be interpreted by an appropriately trained professional alongside other clinical findings.

Verify calibration and zero the instrument before each use. Clean the device between patients and apply consistent, gentle pressure during measurement.
