The machine of the present invention measures and records in terms of the orientation planes of motion the presence of, the location of and the severity of the distortion-stress effects of C-1 subluxations on the human body, making possible thereby statistical analyses of reciprocal relationships between C-1 misalignments (determined by X-ray analysis) and such distortion-stress effects on the skeletal framework as directly result from the misalignment interferences of C-1 on the nervous system and its normal functioning. The machine can demonstrate the distortion-stress effects of a C-1 subluxation on the spine by checking the malpositional relationships of key vertebral segments along the spine prior to and subsequent to C-1 correction, indicating thereby the corrections obtainable throughout the spine and thus reducing the need for repeated applications of X-radiation to the patient. The machine has movable elements which provide indications of corrections or displacement and has a pair of vertically movable platforms with horizontally adjustable pads on which the patient stands. The pads are individually or simultaneously adjustable toward and away from each other to properly space the feet relative to the ilii. Either of the platforms may be elevated if a “short leg”is indicated, short leg being referred to hereinafter as “contractured leg.

In a checking machine for skeletal structure, a base, a top plate for said base, a column extending upwardly from said top plate near one end of the base, a cylindrical sleeve on said column for moving upwardly and downwardly and angularly thereon, a fixed transverse plate on said sleeve for rotation and vertical movement therewith, a cross bar pivotedly secured to said plate forwardly thereof, a pair of slidable housings movable toward and away from each other on said cross bar, and arms secured to said housings and movable angularly from a horizontal plane to indicate tilt and movable laterally of each other to increase or decrease the distance therebetween.
