• Abstract:

  Provectors is a system that performs automated image processing analysis to determine structural pathology in the legs, which are called X-legs and club legs. The software or technological development presented offers an analysis of the human body, replacing the traditional tests that are done with plumb lines, kinegrams, grids, etc.

  Provectors allows analyzing the normal outline of the human body with respect to its center of mass and with a comparative analysis of the descriptive vector of the structure of the legs, determines the level or degree of alteration, quantitatively. The information is provided to the software, by entering a traditional or medical image of the user or patient, to determine the distances, strokes and angles corresponding to their morphology, to determine any alteration or structural and bone deformity that the user retains. This development has applications in the clinical and sports field, allowing the specialist and/or physical therapist to issue a qualitative, quantitative, precise and reliable diagnosis, in comparison with the traditional rustic methods that are used for this technique.
