Cervical spine mobility using 3D ultrasound-based measuring system

Abstract

The paper presents some results regarding the normal range of movement (ROM) of the cervical spine recorded on a lot of ten young healthy men subjects. Cervical spine tests have been performed and measured using a Zebris ultrasound-based measuring system in Motion Laboratory of the Politehnica University of Timisoara. The purpose of this study was to develop a reliable and valid laboratory tool for studying cervical spine in normal conditions. © 2009 Springer.
