New Laser Guided FHP Exam System
 Accurately
Measure Forward Head Travel In A Little As 20 Seconds!
As I was doing research on my
article for the American Chiropractor Magazine titled "Posture Reprogramming and
the Tweet Generation" two things became apparent: First, Forward Head Posture in
youths is increasing at an alarming rate.*
Second, NO school system in
the country is adding FHP testing to scoliosis screenings, even though 31% of
school age children will trigger a positive FHP exam versus 4% for a scoliosis
exam.
A simple but accurate and
inexpensive system to measure forward head travel was needed so every healthcare
practitioner, especially school nurses, could incorporate FHP exams in the
office or school.
So, I started designing such a
system. Step one was to design and produce a high-precision screen on which the
results would be revealed. I re-designed my original posture grid so it would
contain horizontal and vertical lines creating 20mm squares. Every 12 squares
vertically is a very precise mm ruler. This grid is so unique I have it
copyrighted.
Next I created a very
complex laser system mounted on a movable track I designed. During the testing
of this laser system I realized that it was overly complicated and expensive. So
I distilled the process to the essence of what I was trying to achieve and
created a simple and effective laser marking procedure.
It's the perfect tool to trigger the need for a referral to the office for a
complete posture exam, with our full Posture Pro software, or whatever posture
exam software you use. Here's how easy it is:
1.
Line up the subject with the grid's center line.
2.
Shine the laser beam in the ear.
3.
Have the patient step away from the grid.
4.
Write down the position of the beam on the grid's mm ruler using our special
report pad. That's it. Takes about 20 seconds.

*By the way, I discovered
during my research that texting puts the head into an average of 4.5 inches of
FHP, and the average youth holds that position for an average of 31 hours per
month. Add hand-held video games, notebook computer use, over-loaded backpacks
and the general poor posture habits to the mix and you can see why FHP in youths
is becoming such a problem. Most of these technology and social pressures did
not exist a generation ago.
