A Prototype for a Moving Platform for Acquiring Images of the Spine During Walking

The following paper describes a prototype design for a moving platform to capture images of the spine during walking. The platform is intended to provide a noninvasive method for diagnosing spinal disorders and evaluating the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. The prototype consists of a treadmill-like structure with a camera mounted above the walking surface, which captures images of the spine from various angles. The platform is designed to move synchronously with the subjects gait, thereby minimizing motion artifacts and producing high-quality images. This moving platform has the potential to provide valuable insights into the dynamics of the spine during walking. In addition, it could be used to investigate the effects of different walking patterns or interventions on spinal biomechanics. The prototype is designed to be portable and can be easily transported to different locations for use in research and clinical settings.
