Cranio-Corpo-Graphics
The cranio-corpo-graphy (CCG) is a German from Neurootologists Claus-Frenz Claussen in 1968 developed medical examination and measurement methods to assist in investigation methods such as the Unterberger test , the Romberg , the LOLAVHESLIT test, the Nefert test as well as the WOFEC test to document and evaluate dysfunctional balance.
method
During the examination, the patient wears a helmet with two lamps; two more lamps are on the shoulders. A Polaroid camera attached above the patient records the patient's movement pattern during the examination, the results of which are recorded with the aid of a computer and printed out as entries in a polar coordinate system.
history
After the introduction of the Unterberger, Romberg and WOFEC tests, the deviations in the movement patterns of the patients were first marked with chalk on the floor of the examination room.
In 1927, the Russian medic Talpis proposed a method of recording the deviations with the help of a camera and a light source. In 1960 A. Güttich introduced the light marker attached to a helmet; however, the evaluation of the light trail recording was more difficult because the development of the recordings took too much time. With the introduction of cranio-corpo-graphy in 1968, the recordings could be evaluated directly after the examination using an instant camera . In 1993 the method was refined with the US-CCG ("Ultrasound Cranio-Corpo-Graphy"), in which the highlighter markers are replaced by ultrasonic markers.
application
The Cranio-Corpo-Graphie is a tool within the neurootological treatment and is used within the framework of the employer's liability insurance association guideline G-41 "Working with the risk of falling" as an examination method for workplaces with the risk of falling.
