Biotonix Posture Usage guide

How do I set up Biotonix Posture?

Setting up the portable calibration canva

1. Assemble the aluminum frame by inserting each end into its respective number.

2. Slide the calibration canva on top and ensure the gray frame surrounding the calibration canva is even all around.

Setting up the standard calibration canva

1. Use 3 of the provided Velcros to first secure the top of the canva (one in each corner and one in the center) and let it unroll towards the ground.

2. Then, stretch the canvas tightly on each side and place a Velcro at the height of each calibration marker on the vertical border on each side.

3. Make sure the bottom edge of the canvas touches the ground and that the lower calibration markers are 12 inches or 30 centimeters from the ground, and place a Velcro in each corner.

How do I optimize the picture environment for optimal results?

The following specifications will ensure precision of the Artificial Intelligence in detecting patients’ deviatation points.

*It is no longer required to use a tripod for accurate picture taking as long as below points are met.

• Distance between calibration canva and practitioner: 8 feet – 96 inches – 244 centimeters
• Distance between patient and calibration canva: 9 inches – 23 centimeters
• Distance between the ground and the camera lens: 33 inches – 84 centimeters

Please also consider the following:

• Ensure the floor is level (not crooked) and perfectly perpendicular to the floor;
• Ensure the bottom (gray border) of the calibration canva is as close as possible to the ground;
• Ensure the patient isn’t wearing socks and that the color of the floor isn’t similar to the skin color of the patient

*Please refer back to the section “How do I set up Biotonix Posture” above to ensure proper canva placement and precise evaluations.

What are other tips to take the most accurate pictures?

• Ensure both crosses (blue and gray) are overlapping as much as possible.
• Ensure the intersection point of the crosses are pointing to the middle blue dot on the calibration canva as much as possible.
  *The patient will be in front of the blue dot. Try to be as centered as possible given your obstructed view.
• Ensure the patient is wearing very tight or minimal clothing. (tight underwear, no sock, no hat)
• The calibration canva must be perpendicular to the floor. (exactly 90 degrees)
• Again, ensure you are perpendicular to the canva, meaning your camera lens is about 33 inches from the ground.
• Ensure your patient is looking straight ahead and in a relaxed and natural posture for all pictures

A good picture will be marked with a green checkmark, a non-valid picture will be marked in a red “x”

*You can simply retake the picture and ensure you have followed all steps above correctly if the picture shows a red “x”

• After all three pictures are taken, select “Confirm”.
