WHAT IS THE HUMPOMATIC? The Humpomatic was conceived in March, 2006 while at a chiropractic screening. While there are many screening tools for chiropractors, they all use either very low tech "string" devices, (see the the SAM unit) or use dubious technology to prove their point(s). The Humpomatic detects Forward Head Posture and flexion dominant postures, as well. Simple in its design, it is comprised of three lasers that project a vertical beam. Each beam is aligned with three different anatomical landmark, and the difference between them is measured. A difference of 1 inch or more probably indicates a biomechanical problem. Literature indicates that for each inch of forward head posture, the neck musculature has to carry an increased load of 10 pounds, resulting in muscle hypertrophy or a "hump:.. hence the machine's namesake. The Humpomatic is now in its fifth revision, and probably will go through another series of refinements, until it is going to be applied for patent rights. Some revisions that need to be made are to put the lasers on a uniplanar slide, to eliminate penumbra error, equal to the sine of the angle of difference. Thus far, it has been shown to be a very effective means of showing patients their biomechanical issues. The lines the Humpomatic creates. The Humpomatic itself. "The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and the cause and prevention of disease." -Thomas Edison
