Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2992591A1] The invention relates to a system for non-invasive biomorphological characterisation of a human limb (110), comprising a geometric and volumetric measurement device (100) comprising: - a plurality of three-dimensional image acquisition systems (131-137) designed to image said limb (110), - an articulated and motorised frame (120), designed to position and move at least one part of the plurality of acquisition systems (131-137) in a peripheral manner to said limb (110), - a processing device for processing geometric and volumetric data, designed to represent the acquisition data in the form of a plurality of points having a set of coordinates in a three-dimensional reference frame, - a biomechanical measurement device comprising a probe holder (200) designed to rigidly connect at least one ultrasonic probe (210) for imaging the vascular system relating to said limb (110) and a force sensor (220) designed to measure the pressure exerted by said probe (210) on the limb (110), and - an analysis device, designed to both merge at least a part of the volumetric data and at least a part of the anatomical and biomechanical data, and to determine the morphological variables of the limb (110) and/or the biomechanical variables of the vascular system of said limb.
