Abstract:
A modular ROM measurement system is disclosed. A transometer has a horizontal support surface on which are mounted a magnetic north seeking means and leveling means for measurement in a transverse plane. Relesably attached to the horizontal support surface is at least one additional modular component selected from the group of components consisting of an inclinometer for determining degree of inclination of the horizontal support surface from the horizontal, a headband, a stabilizer plate, one or more elastic bans, one of more vertical mode plates selected from the group of plates consisting of a thorax plate and an extremity plate, and one or more soft level adjusting means. Each of the modular components from the above group of components may be releasably attached and temporarily engaged with one another and the horizontal support surface of the transometer, so that a plurality of separate instrument configurations may each be temporarily assembled for performing a specific ROM measurement function, and then be disassembled for compact storage or for reassembly into the same or different configurations.
