Motion Analysis

Patient Forms

A breakthrough imaging technique that has greatly improved the diagnostic accuracy of the standard x-ray. Motion Analysis is a functional test that provides diagnostic assessment of spinal injuries and spinal instability in real-time, providing a more accurate diagnosis of back and neck injuries. The Motion Analysis study helps locate the source of pain or discomfort in your spine, allowing your healthcare professional to make more informed decisions about your treatment options. Motion Analysis is a dynamic, quantitative, functional spine imaging; provides physicians with the ability to utilize full spine alignment data, angulation and translation, and disc height at each spine level.

Motion Analysis Process and What to Expect:

During the study, the motion analysis will gently guide you through a spine-bending routine of flextion and extension movements. Every second, advanced Motion Analysis software captures eight pictures of your spine. Images are then uploaded to our online servers, where they are processed to produce a report your physician will use to diagnose your condition. The cloud-based system provides access to test results via any internet-connected computer, tablet, or smartphone, allowing results within 48 hours.

Benefits of Motion Analysis over traditional x-rays include:

Provides important information that an x-ray might miss
Detects spinal motion in real-time
Less radiation than a standard x-ray
500% more sensitive in detecting lumbar radiographic instability

What Motion Analysis can uncover:

Fracture/Dislocation
Disc degeneration
Displaced disc
Slipped vertebra
