SPINAL COLUMN ANALYSIS
Assessment of the Mobility of the Cervical
and Lumbar Spinal Column
With special triple markers based The report shows the maximum
on miniature ultrasonic transmitters, mobility - the range of motion
simple and rapid function tests can (ROM). A diagram is presented
be carried out on the cervical and for each main direction of move-
lumbar spinal column and on the ment: flexion / extension, rotation
entire torso.
and lateral flexion.
The measuring sensor mounted on
a floor stand detects the travel time
of the ultrasonic signals and
transmits the results to the basic
unit.
During the measurement the patient
makes fluent movements to
his maximum mobility.
Report
The quality of performance of
the movements is shown in
phase diagrams taking into
consideration the speed of the
movements.
The ability of the patient to reproduce
movements can be seen
in the coefficient of variability.
In the analysis of lumbar spinal
column movements, the synkinesis
between lateral inclination
and pelvic rotation as well as
the coordination between hip and
lumbar spine during flexion /
extension are shown.
