  • Patent number: 5785665
    Abstract: Object of the present invention is to provide a device for capably measuring deviation of body axes around three axes as centers of backward-forward flection, leaning and twisting, and a method for correcting such body axis deviation. A measuring device comprises a means (20) for regionally fixing a user's body and a means (30) for detecting and measuring flection limits around a rolling axis, an pitching axis or an yawing axis while regionally fixing said user's body as a fulcrum, and a method for correcting a body axis which comprises detecting flection limits around a user's joint to regard a bisected point of thus detected limits as a body axis deviation and remanding or correcting said body axis deviation around one of a rolling axis, an pitching axis or an yawing axis by repeatedly twisting a body around the other two axes as fulcrums.

  • Patent number: 5732959
    Abstract: A method and a device for positioning boot bindings to be fitted depending on an axial deviation of a body of a snow board player in which a pair of fore and back loading disks (21) and (21') are arranged rotatably on a base (11) and each of the loading disks (21) and (21') can be fixed to a turning direction at an arbitrary angle. A player stands with his boots on the fore and back loading disks (21) and (21'). One of the loading disk (21) or (21') is temporarily fixed at a predetermined position to detect the axial deviation of the body by twisting an ankle right and left, while the axial deviation of the body on the other loading disk (21) or (21') is detected by a similar operation, thereby fixing fore and back boots on the snow board so as to provide an angular difference corresponding to an angular deviation ratio of both angles thus determined.
