Abstract

An assembly for positioning a foot of a patient during a scanning process, the assembly comprising a first foot engagement member for engaging with a dorsal surface of a medial forefoot of the foot of the patient; and a second engagement member for engaging with a plantar surface of a lateral forefoot of the foot of the patient. The assembly may engage with both the left and the right foot without relocating the assembly. The assembly may have a first configuration for use with a supine patient and a second configuration for use with a prone patient.

Claims (24)

Claims
1. An assembly for positioning a foot of a patient during a scanning process, the assembly comprising: a first foot engagement member for engaging with a dorsal surface of a medial forefoot of the foot of the patient; and a second engagement member for engaging with a plantar surface of a lateral forefoot of the foot of the patient.
2. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein the first and second engagement members are moveable between first and second positions, wherein when the first and second engagement members are in the first position, the assembly engages with a left foot and when the first and second engagement members are in the second position, the assembly engages with a right foot.
3. The assembly according to claim 1 or claim 2 wherein one of the first or second engagement members includes a moveable portion.
4. The assembly according to claim 3 wherein the moveable portion includes a flexible portion.
5. The assembly according to claim 3 or claim 4 wherein the moveable portion comprises a pivotable portion.
6. The assembly according to any of claims 3 to 5 wherein both the first and second foot engagement members comprise corresponding first and second moveable portions.
7. The assembly according to claim 1 or claim 2 further comprising a base.
8. The assembly according to claim 7 further comprising a strut connected to the base wherein the first and second engagement members are connected to the strut.
9. The assembly according to claim 8 wherein the first and second engagement members comprise corresponding flexible and pivotable portions.
10. The assembly according to claim 9 wherein the first engagement member comprises a first pivotable member connected to the strut to allow pivoting movement of the first pivotable member relative to the strut and a first flexible member connected to the first pivotable member, and wherein the second engagement member comprises a second flexible member connected to the strut and a second pivotable member connected to the second flexible member to allow pivoting of the second pivotable member relative to the second flexible member.
11. The assembly according to any one of claims 8 to 10 wherein the strut is moveable relative to the base.
12. The assembly according to claim 11 wherein the strut is pivotable relative to the strut.
13. The assembly according to any preceding claim wherein at least a part of either the first or the second engagement member is transparent.
14. A method of positioning a foot of a patient during a scanning process, the method comprising: providing an assembly having first and second foot engagement members; engaging the first engagement member with a dorsal surface of a medial forefoot of the foot of the patient; and engaging the second engagement member with a plantar surface of a lateral forefoot of the foot of the patient.
15. The method according to claim 14 further comprising scanning the foot whilst engaging the first and second engagement members with the foot.
16. The method according to claim 14 or claim 15 wherein the step of engaging the first engagement member with the foot encourages plantar flexion of a first ray of the foot.
17. The method according to any of claims 14 to 16 wherein the first and second engagement members are moveable between first and second positions, wherein when the first and second engagement members are in the first position, the assembly engages with a left foot and when the first and second engagement members are in the second position, the assembly engages with a right foot, the method comprising moving the first and second engagement members between the first and the second positions.
18. The method according to any of claims 14 to 17 wherein one of the first or second engagement members includes a moveable portion and wherein the method comprises moving the moveable portion to engage at least one of the first and second engagement members with the foot.
19. The method according to claim 18 wherein the step of moving the moveable portion includes one or more of translation; flexing and pivoting.
20. The method according to any of claims 14 to 19 wherein the assembly further comprises a base, the method comprising placing the base under the patientâ s leg or torso so that the weight of the patient secures the assembly in place.
21. An assembly for positioning the foot of a patient during a scanning process, comprising a first foot engagement member and a second foot engagement member wherein the first and second foot engagement members are positionable in first and second positions, wherein the respective first positions are for engagement with a left foot, and the respective second positions are for engagement with a right foot.
22. The assembly according to claim 21 wherein the first and second engagement members are moveable between the first and second positions.
23. An assembly for positioning the foot of a patient during a scanning process, comprising a first foot engagement member and a second foot engagement member wherein assembly has a first configuration for use with a supine patient and a second configuration for use with a prone patient.
24. The assembly according to claim 23 wherein the assembly is moved from the first configuration to the second configuration by flipping the assembly.
