Abstract EN
Objective.
The objectives were to show the feasibility of a wireless microelectromechanical system inertial measurement unit (MEMS-IMU) to assess the time-domain characteristics of cervical motion that are clinically useful to evaluate cervical spine movement.
Methods.
Cervical spine movements were measured in 18 subjects with wireless IMUs.
All rotation data are presented in the Euler angle system.
Amount of coupling motions was evaluated by calculating the average angle ratio and the maximum angle ratio of the coupling motion to the primary motion.
Reliability is presented with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC).
Results.
Entire time-domain characteristics of cervical motion were measured with developed MEMS-IMU system.
Cervical range of motion (CROM) and coupling motion range were measured with high ICCs.
The acquired data and calculated parameters had similar tendency with the previous studies.
Conclusions.
We evaluated cervical motion with economic system using a wireless IMU of high reliability.
We could directly measure the three-dimensional cervical motion in degrees in realtime.
The characteristics measured by this system may provide a diagnostic basis for structural or functional dysfunction of cervical spine.
This system is also useful to demonstrate the effectiveness of any intervention such as conventional medical treatment, and Korean medical treatment, exercise therapy.
