摘要: An apparatus is disclosed for monitoring the movement and force production of lumbar spine during flexion extension in each several sagittal-frontal planes body, as well into he transverse (twisting) plane. The includes a rotatable platform upon which patient adapted to stand, pivotable about vertical axis, so that may be pivoted selected angle locked position. A pelvic stabilization belt mounted platform, an overhead frame member provided rotation horizontal axis pass through lumbro-sacral junction patient. upper body yoke generally perpendicular axis. engaging yoke, control system whereby operated flexion/extension mode, or twisting with foot angular
