subject: Finally, A Complete Report Of Findings In 10 Minutes [print this page] Dr. David A. Bohn, DC has been practicing chiropractic full-time ever since December of 1988. Being a self described techno junkie he purchased various high end diagnostic devices such as the Cadwell NCV/EMG, Norland full body BMD scanner, VF Works Motion X-ray, Peripheral Vascular Diagnostic Ultrasound, Digital Gait Scanners and in office orthotics molding equipment, full blood labs, dark field microscopy, etc. etc. etc. constantly hunting for a better way to prove to his patients what the problem was and how he could fix it.
In your effort to educate and inform your patients of their particular condition the classic Jim Beam slogan "You always come back to basics" says it all. When people entrust their health to us they really want to know the 3 things all chiropractors' have heard over and over ever since you started practicing. The information critical to them is always 'what is wrong,' 'can you help me,' and 'how much is this going to cost.' All these top tech devices you have available today will not assist. Dr., you need to answer them simply, directly, and supply a physical report to give them so they can share it with their family or a life partner.
After failing to find the stand-alone software program that matched his precise need, Dr. Bohn created it. Dr. Bohn call's it XRPpro for the reason that it does x-ray line drawing mensuration from a digitized image, XRPpro does range of motion displaying the patients movement limitations in a visual format, and it also does digital postural analysis.
This X ray analysis software works with both traditional film or with digital images and performs over 42 different measurements using the digitized points. This technology will draw all the lines of the calculations over the actual x-ray image, showing for example the forward head translation in millimeters. This systems measurement feature furthermore works on conventional film based images when the 3 mm x-ray marker is used to set scale. Additionally, measurements are taken of the AP and LAT views of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal regions, complete full scoliosis measurements on up to 3 spine curvatures. Measurements for structural leg length are quickly completed and calculated and combined with a letter of medical necessity for a heel lift or orthotic. A full color report is created for every analysis with a side-by-side comparison to the normal for easy patient comprehension. This makes it very easy for your patient to comprehend the location of their trouble and how it has deteriorated from the normal.
A range of motion analysis is carried out by using digital images of the patient doing the actual movement, no this just isn't some vague useless graph. The range is reported in degrees and the percentage of normal motion is displayed. This additionally makes a terrific tool to show improvement on re-exams. Cervical and lumbar spine range of motion analysis can also be performed with duplicate ease and detail.
The posture analysis report shows the head tilt, forward head translation in millimeters with increases in postural stress in pounds, and pelvic translation and tilt in both the AP and LAT views. The posture analysis also prints a single page report that is excellent for health fairs and spinal screenings.
This computer software package combo of the x-ray, range of motion, and posture modules is more than any software package on the internet is offering. Yet, Dr. Bohn wasn't satisfied, to him it wasn't complete yet for a complete report of findings, so he also built in subluxation reporting and a financial case fee calculator. All these tools blend to make the XRPpro the only truly complete report of findings generator found anywhere on the planet.
The XRPpro will reduce the time it requires you to work up a report of findings and will strengthen your patients understanding and this will increase the patient compliance for you.
