The Accuracy of Surface Measurement for Osteoporotic Spine Motion Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION The surface method of measuring lower thoracic and lumbar spine motion with Fastrak ® was examined for validity. There is an increasing awareness of the health risks of exposure to radiation associated with repeated radiographic assessment of spinal curvature and spinal movements. As a skin-surface measurement device, Fastrak ® was employed to study the effect of low bone mineral density on spine motion. However, the reliability and validity of data recorded has not been established. The purpose of this study was to develop a methodology to determine the accuracy of the surface measurement device when it is applied on osteoporotic spine motion analysis.
