To use the diagnostic tool, it is placed near the affliction without touching it and it takes a picture framing both the affliction and a portion of the tool. The graphical and descriptive ranking guides are then used to determine the rank of the affliction within the classification system. The method involves making a print of the picture and attaching it to a form or chart of the afflicted subject. The rulers on the tool can be used to estimate the affliction’s area and extent along each arm. Overall, this L-shaped diagnostic tool provides a visual and descriptive aid for classifying afflictions and assessing their severity, aiding healthcare practitioners in diagnosis and treatment decisions.
