Cranio-corpography

The Cranio - Corpo - Graphy ( CCG ) is a system developed by the German Neurootologists Claus- Frenz Claussen in 1968 medical examination and measurement methods in order for examination procedures such as the Unterberger - Tretversuch, the Romberg, the LOLAVHESLIT test, the nefert test and the WOFEC test to document and analyze equilibrium dysfunctions.

Method

During the test, the patient wears a helmet with two lamps; two more lamps are located at the shoulders. One on top of the patient attached Polaroid camera records the pattern of movement during the study, the results are recorded using a computer and printed as entry in a polar coordinate system.

History

After the introduction of Unterberger, the Romberg and WOFEC tests the differences in the movement patterns of the patients were initially marked with chalk on the floor of the study area.

In 1927, the Russian medical Talpis proposed a method to record the variations via a camera and a light source. In 1960, led A. Güttich the one attached to a helmet light markers; the analysis of the light -track recording was made ​​difficult by the development of recordings claimed too much time. The introduction of Cranio - Corpo - Graphy in 1968, the recordings could be evaluated by using an instant camera directly after the examination. In 1993, the method with the U.S. CCG ( " Ultrasound Cranio - Corpo - Graphy " ), in which the luminous markers are replaced by ultrasound markers was refined.

Application

The Cranio - Corpo - Graphy is tool within the neurootological treatment and is " work at height " used in the context of the trade association guideline G -41 as an investigative procedure for jobs at height.
