Cet article est le premier d'une série de deux qui se proposent de décrire l'utilisation clinique du Pendulum ou [du] Pendex (Pendulum avec expansion).

OBS

Pendulum : Certains auteurs ne font aucune distinction entre le Pendulum et le Pendex, une des variantes du Pendulum. Il arrive donc que le terme «Pendulum» soit utilisé pour désigner un appareil qui, en anglais, serait appelé «Pendex».
