  • Patent number: 5944676
    Abstract: A biomedical apparatus, particularly for detecting and evaluating the posture of the rear part of the feet (heels). The apparatus comprises a resting base provided with a flat upper surface on which, in the operating configuration, the feet of the patient being evaluated rest, and on which two removable reference heel units for the heel region of the feet are conveniently associated, so as to provide positioning of the feet. The surface has reference graduations in order to measure the gait angle or walking angle of the foot. The apparatus comprises a slider which is slidingly coupled to the base and is suitable to support and move a camera along a preset circular arc located to the rear of the heels of the patient, at a preset focal distance.
