Cranio-corpography
Cranio-Corpo-Graphy (CCG) is a medical investigation and measurement procedure developed in 1968 by German neurootologist Claus-Frenz Claussen. It documents and evaluates disorders of the equilibrium function measured by investigation procedures such as the Unterberger test, the LOLAVHESLIT test, the NEFERT test, the Romberg's test and the WOFEC test. Method During investigation, the patient carries a worker's helmet with two lamps fixed on it on his head; two additional lamps are fixed on the patient's shoulders. An instant camera located above the patient records the patient's movements during investigation. A computer records the results and prints them into a polar coordinate system. History After the Unterberger test, Romberg's test, and the WOFEC test were introduced, the deviations in the patient's movements were, at first, marked with chalk on the floor of the investigation room. In 1927, Russian medician Talpis proposed a method to record the deviations using ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
NEFERT
NEFERT (Neck Flexion Rotation Test) is a Physical examination, medical examination procedure developed in 1999 by German Neurotology, neurootologist Claus-Frenz Claussen. Use The procedure serves for investigating intracorporal movement differences between head and body, especially at the atlanto-axial joint and the lower Cervical vertebrae, cervical spine column. The method can help Diagnosis, diagnosing sprains of the neck, stiff necks, and Whiplash (medicine), whiplash. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information within the National Institutes of Health, the procedure is "commonly used in clinical practice to evaluate patients with cervicogenic headache."Hall T, Robinson K"The flexion-rotation test and active cervical mobility--a comparative measurement study in cervicogenic headache" National Center for Biotechnology Information (research abstract), November 9, 2004 (Retrieved July 29, 2013) Method The test consists of six movements, which can also be ...

Neurotology
Neurotology or neuro-otology is a subspecialty of otolaryngology—head and neck surgery, also known as ENT (ear, nose, and throat) medicine. Neuro-otology is closely related to otology, clinical neurology and neurosurgery. Otology may refer to ENT physicians who "... tudynormal and pathological anatomy and physiology of the ear (hearing and vestibular sensory systems and related structures and functions) ...", and who treat diseases of the ear with medicine or surgery. In some instances, otology and neurotology are considered together—as so closely related that a clear demarcation between the subspecialties might not exist. For example, the University of Maryland Medical Center uses the term, "otologist/neurotologist". Otologists and neurotologists have specialized in otolaryngology and then further specialized in pathological conditions of the ear and related structures. Many general otolaryngologists are trained in otology or middle ear surgery, performing surgery such ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Claus-Frenz Claussen
Claus-Frenz Claussen, (originally: Claußen) (28 May 1939 – 4 September 2022) was a German ENT- Medician and University teacher, author, editor, artist and inventor. He was the first university teacher for neurotology to be appointed in Germany. Life Claussen studied medicine at the universities of Bonn and Hamburg, where he took his German medical state exam and the United States Medical Licensing Examination. In 1965, he obtained a doctorate degree with a dissertation, "a comparison of the enteral absorption of Digoxine and digostine esters". During his academic years, he attended courses at the universities of Toulouse (France), Oxford (England), Oslo (Norway), Göteborg (Sweden), Copenhagen and Århus (Denmark), as a scholarship holder of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes. Between 1965 and 1967, Claussen was an intern at Hamburg and Simmerath (Eifel). From 1967 to 1970, he was assistant lecturer at the University ENT clinic of the University of Berlin. From ...

Unterberger Test
The Unterberger test, also Unterberger's test and Unterberger's stepping test, is a test used in otolaryngology to help assess whether a patient has a vestibular pathology. It is not useful for detecting central (brain) disorders of balance. Technique The patient is asked to walk in place with their eyes closed. Interpretation If the patient rotates to one side they may have a labyrinthine lesion A lesion is any damage or abnormal change in the tissue of an organism, usually caused by disease or trauma. ''Lesion'' is derived from the Latin "injury". Lesions may occur in plants as well as animals. Types There is no designated classif ... on that side, but this test should not be used to diagnose lesions without the support of other tests.

LOLAVHESLIT
LOLAVHESLIT (longitudinal, lateral, vertical head-sliding test) is a medical examination procedure developed in 1999 by German neurootologist Claus-Frenz Claussen. The procedure serves in diagnosing diseases in relation to cervical vertebrae and the vertebral column as well as diagnosing movement disorders of the neck. The patient performs the necessary moves in a sitting position in order to avoid unconscious body movements affecting the investigation results. Additionally, the patient stretches his arms and positions his hands between his knees for the same reasons. The head movements, which are performed during the investigation and between which the head is relocated each time into the normal position, are the following. # The patient stretches his head forwards. # The patient turns his head to the right. # The patient turns his head to the left. # The patient lays his head into the neck and looks upwards. # The patient bows his head forwards and looks downwards. # These mov ...

Romberg's Test
Romberg's test, Romberg's sign, or the Romberg maneuver is a test used in an exam of neurological function for balance, and also as a test for driving under the influence of an intoxicant. The exam is based on the premise that a person requires at least two of the three following senses to maintain balance while standing: proprioception (the ability to know one's body position in space); vestibular function (the ability to know one's head position in space); and vision (which can be used to monitor and adjust for changes in body position). A patient who has a problem with proprioception can still maintain balance by using vestibular function and vision. In the Romberg test, the standing patient is asked to close their eyes. An increased loss of balance is interpreted as a positive Romberg's test. The Romberg test is a test of the body's sense of positioning ( proprioception), which requires healthy functioning of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord. The Romberg test is u ...

Instant Camera
An instant camera is a camera which uses self-developing film to create a chemically developed print shortly after taking the picture. Polaroid Corporation pioneered (and patented) consumer-friendly instant cameras and film, and were followed by various other manufacturers. The base of the technology is from a Hungarian chemist, Rott Andor. His invention, direct positive photography, also known as DTR (Diffusion Transfer Reversal) was patented in 1939. With the DTR process, the photographed surface or object immediately appears as a positive, which is an image corresponding to the dark and light shades of the original. When developing the image, the fixer and the developing material are present at the same time, and they immediately interact. The invention of commercially viable instant cameras which were easy to use is generally credited to American scientist Edwin Land, who unveiled the first commercial instant camera, the model 95 Land Camera, in 1948, a year after he u ...

Polar Coordinate System
In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction. The reference point (analogous to the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system) is called the ''pole'', and the ray from the pole in the reference direction is the ''polar axis''. The distance from the pole is called the ''radial coordinate'', ''radial distance'' or simply ''radius'', and the angle is called the ''angular coordinate'', ''polar angle'', or ''azimuth''. Angles in polar notation are generally expressed in either degrees or radians (2 rad being equal to 360°). Grégoire de Saint-Vincent and Bonaventura Cavalieri independently introduced the concepts in the mid-17th century, though the actual term "polar coordinates" has been attributed to Gregorio Fontana in the 18th century. The initial motivation for the introduction of the polar system was the study of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Diagnostic Neurology
Diagnosis is the identification of the nature and cause of a certain phenomenon. Diagnosis is used in many different disciplines, with variations in the use of logic, analytics, and experience, to determine "cause and effect". In systems engineering and computer science, it is typically used to determine the causes of symptoms, mitigations, and solutions.
