Cervical Range of Motion

A Novel Electronic Cervical Range of Motion Measurement System... 

Keywords— Cervical Range of Motion, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Single-chip Data Acquisition System. 

All of these methods have some success in accurately determining cervical range of motion. The ideal cervical range of motion measurement system would be accurate, precise, portable, low-cost, electronic, intuitive, and user-friendly. The system would have a personal computer interface that allows for efficient and reliable data transfer, thereby... 

The matrix in Table 1 indicates that veiy few current cervical range of motion measurement systems provide axial rotation measurement capability. This paper describes a novel Electronic Cervical Range of Motion Measurement System (ECROM). This electronic system provides accurate measurements, increases quality of documentation, and enhances measurement simphcity.
