METHOD FOR VERTEBRAL JOINT RANGE OF MOTION MEASUREMENTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method to measure the joint-movable range of a spine. The method includes: a step (a) of setting an offset of a first sensor measuring a slope angle; a step (b) of fixing a second sensor, measuring a slope angle, to a side of a wearing board, and of an examinee wearing board to make the other side of the wearing board touch a first thoracic vertebrae (T1) of an examinee; a step (c) of locating the first sensor on a sagittal plane of the head of the examinee by fixing the sensor to an upper bracket of a helmet, and fixing the second sensor to an extended surface of the wearing board, which faces the examinee, to measure a cervical vertebral range; a step (d) of locating the first sensor on a coronal plane of the head of the examinee by rotating the upper bracket, and fixing the second sensor to the upper part of a side of the wearing board, arranged in a cervical vertebral line, to measure a side curvature range of the cervical vertebral part; and a step (e) of locating the first sensor to a front bracket of the helmet, and locating the first sensor on a transverse plane of the head of the examinee to measure a rotation range of the cervical vertebral part.
