Iranian Experts Use AI to Make Device for Diagnosis of Posture Abnormalities, Movement Disorders
“The body structure analysis device is made to measure and evaluate skeletal deviations of the body, including shoulders, neck, lordosis and foot deviations, etc.,” said Mojtaba Gohari, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
Noting that with the help of this device, treatment can be prescribed with timely diagnosis, he said, “The analysis is carried out by specifying the location of the joints and computer evaluation is done by photogrammetry method.”
Gohari described imaging technology, data analysis, reporting and corrective exercises as four unique functions of the knowledge-based device.
“This device uses advanced imaging technologies to provide accurate images of a person's posture and can analyze the collected data and provide information about body angles, curves, and symmetry. This data helps professionals identify weaknesses and anomalies,” he said.
In a relevant development in 2022, another knowledge-based company in Iran had also managed to manufacture a body analyzer machine which has been presented to the market at one tenth of the price of its foreign model.
“Our knowledge-based company operates under the brand ‘Anya’ and it has presented a body composition analysis device used in nutrition clinics, sports clubs and fitness clinics,” Amir Imani, the head of the Board of Directors of Sarang Industrial Solutions company, said on the sidelines of the 10th Exhibition of Iranian-Made Laboratory Equipment and Materials (Iran Lab Expo 2022) in Tehran.
He added that the device analyses the body in terms of fat, muscle, protein, intracellular and extracellular water, visceral fat, basic metabolism and some other parameters, which shows information both in the whole body and separately.
“The body composition analysis device is equipped with 8 electrodes; 4 electrodes are placed on the soles of the feet and 4 electrodes are placed on the palms of the hands when the person holds the handles, and it enjoys multi-frequency so that different frequencies are applied to the body from 1 to 200 kHz and the measurement is performed,” Imani said.
The body composition analyzer machine takes the physical examination to a new level. In traditional physical examinations, weight and height are used as the criteria for judging health, and weight is divided by the square of height to obtain the "BMI", which is used to describe the health of the person.
