Like every professional in the medical field, the nutritionist also needs functional and high-performance instrumentation. By nutritionist, or better yet nutritionist biologist, we mean the professional figure capable of evaluating the nutritional and energy needs of a human being.By knowing the bio-chemical nature of foods, the nutritionist can evaluate an individual's nutritional needs and therefore prepare appropriate diets, both for healthy people and for those with a pathology previously diagnosed by another doctor.The nutritionist works through visits, where he tries to collect as much information as possible on the patient's diet but also where he measures certain body parameters using special equipment. Based on what is collected, it will then draw up an adequate nutritional plan.It is essential that the nutritionist's tools are of great precision and quality.Among these there are, first of all, the professional bathroom scales, which can be mechanical or digital.
Mechanical scales
The mechanical scales remain among the most widespread instruments in the medical and hospital fields,especially in the offices of dieticians and nutritionists. Among the best performing scales, a device like the Omron BF511 Body Fat Scale, in addition to the basic weight measurement function, is also able to provide a complete measurement, with clinical precision, of body composition, even for children.This instrument in fact offers the possibility of detecting various parameters such as body and visceral fat, as well as data relating to basal metabolism, through the action of eight sensors positioned on the patient's hands and feet.A certainly more performing and professional model for a nutritionist could be the Sohenle 7850 Fitness scale with printer, which allows an appropriate control of muscle mass, body fat, liquids,of the BMI (body mass index) as well as the need for daily caloric intake. This scale also allows the measurement of impedance through the hands, without having to remove shoes, and without measurement limits.In addition, a printer allows you to immediately obtain all the data collected on paper.
Digital scales
Undoubtedly, greater precision and a greater number of functions are among the advantages that digital scales bring.A model like the professional digital column scale from Wunder presents, in addition to the classic functions of a professional scale, also the possibility, for pregnant women, of distinguishing the weight of the mother from that of the child,as well as a dual multi-line LCD display for a clear display of all available detection types.Even more sophisticated is an analysis scale such as the iHealth FIT HS2S Wireless which allows you to interface data such as weight and body composition also on dedicated apps for iPhone or Android, with smartphones that can be connected to the scale via Bluetooth.This scale stores up to 8 users and tracks a historical report of the patient's data through the app, providing specific data on lean mass, bones, muscles, water mass, body fat,calorie intake and visceral fat.
Impedance meter and caliper
In addition to scales, the nutrition professional also uses some other tools for nutritionists to best carry out their profession.Firstly, the impedance meter: by applying electrodes to the wrists and ankles of patients, this instrument allows a very accurate analysis in terms of body composition, managing to detect intra- and extra-cellular water, to distinguish fat mass from lean mass and the presence of water retention.Using the impedance meter it is also possible to verify the patient's correct weight loss over time or following a diet, studying the variation of certain parameters and also the parts of the body where the loss of body volume is localized, to then establish more targeted therapies.Among the most important and used nutritionist tools there is certainly also the caliper. It is a device that allows the measurement of the thickness of subcutaneous fat with high precision, thus providing the evaluation of the total amount of fat present in a patient.For example, the Gima professional skin caliper allows excellent pressure calibration, thanks to its spring arms which allow a very accurate measurement of how your adipose tissue is distributed sectorally.Tables then facilitate the interpretation of the data collected, thus providing a precise calculation of the fat percentage and therefore an assessment of the patient's general status.It is a comfortable and lightweight device; therefore easily transportable.
