P 127 - A pilot study of forward bending, lateral flexion and axial rotation of the spine in healthy subjects

The actual Gold Standard for spine assessment are x-rays, even if they just give a static view of the spine.Currently there are no accurate methods to thoroughly asses spine mobility in clinical practice: this is normally evaluated by physicians and therapists only observationally, and sometimes with a total Range of Motion (ROM) measurement. Through optoelectronic systems it ’s possible to have an objective dynamic analysis of the spine during movement. The data collected would allow a measure for an objective and standard assessment of the spine.[1,2]
