Abstract: It is an object to provide a body distortion detection system for detecting distortion of the body from postures of natural manners in daily action of an examinee. A body distortion detection system includes a posture detection apparatus mounted on the body of an examinee, and a distortion determination apparatus. Upon acquiring acceleration information periodically from an acceleration sensor mounted on a part for detecting a movement of the body of the examinee, the posture detection apparatus calculates a moving distance of the part from the acquired acceleration information to obtain coordinates of the part in a computation processing section. Then, the apparatus stores coordinates obtained by the computation processing section point by point in memory. The distortion determination apparatus determines distortion of the body, based on a tilt angle of the part calculated from a series of coordinates read by connection to the memory.

Abstract: In assembling a binocular loupe device, a loupe of the binocular loupe device is attached to an appropriate position at a correct angle according to a pupil position of a user in a near vision state. A rectangular, transparent measurement assisting plate fixed to a frame before attachment of a loupe is worn by a user, and the face of the user in a near vision state is photographed by a camera from a work object point P to obtain a first image. The first image is subjected to arithmetic processing by a computer to measure, on the first image, coordinate positions of respective four vertexes of the measurement assisting plate and coordinate positions of respective left and right pupils of the user in the near vision state, and determines the loupe attachment position and/or loupe attachment angle on a plane of the plate member from the measured coordinate positions.

Abstract: A medical image recording device includes an image pickup device generating an image pickup signal by photoelectrically converting light reflected from a subject with use of an image pickup element, wherein an image pickup control unit displays, on a display unit, image data generated for each of frames constituting a video by processing the image pickup signal. A recording control unit records the image data on a memory card. A movement detection unit sequentially compares the image data between the adjacent frames, and calculates an amount of movement of the image pickup device from a positional shift of a main subject between the adjacent frames. If the amount of movement is within a preset range, a camera shake correction unit corrects a blur. If the amount of movement is greater than an upper limit of the range, the recording control unit stops recording of image data on the memory card.

Abstract: A medical instrument includes a rod-shaped grasp portion at a base end thereof, a functional portion used in medical practice at a front end thereof, and a shape-memory portion including a rod-shaped shape-memory alloy provided between the grasp portion and the functional portion. The grasp portion includes a holding portion having a space in which one end of the shape-memory portion is inserted from the longitudinal direction. The instrument has a gap between an outer surface of the shape-memory portion and an inner surface of the holding portion, and in bending the shape-memory portion, the shape-memory portion is capable of deforming within the range of the gap. Then, by bending, the outer surface of the shape-memory portion comes into contact with an inner edge portion of an opening of the holding portion, and thereby restricts deformation of the shape-memory portion beyond the predetermined range.

Abstract: A medical image recording device includes an image pickup device. The image pickup device, which includes an optical lens and an image pickup element that generates an image signal by photoelectrically converting light introduced from a subject via the optical lens, is put an operator. An image pickup control unit displays, on a display unit, image data that is generated for each of frames that constitute a video by processing an image pickup signal. A recording control unit records the image data on a memory card. Based on an angular velocity output from an acceleration sensor, if an amount of movement calculated by the movement detection unit is within a preset range, a camera shake correction unit corrects a blur. If the amount of movement is greater than an upper limit of the range, the recording control unit stops recording of image data on the memory card.
