Function & Description

 

The SpinalMouse® is a innovative device to measure the spinal shape and mobility in the sagittal and lateral plane. Segmental angles for each motional vertebral joint are registered and shown in functional graphics. 

 

Measuring is fast, easy and reliable: The device is manually guided over the skin of the back along the spinal column. The measuring head follows automatically the sagittal and lateral shape and records clinically relevant data. A highly sophisticated software algorithm uses this information to calculate the clinical parameters.

 

Results show excellent validity when compared to X-rays. The SpinalMouse® Software visualizes «red flags» for indications, such as hypo and hyper mobile vertebral joints or deviations from reference values.

 

In comparison to existing methods the SpinalMouse® offers many advantages in terms of accuracy, objectivity, reproducibility, data presentation, non-invasiveness, absence of radiation, ease of use and is extremely cost effective.

 

In addition to the above functionality, The SpinalMouse®  offers a functional capacity test and a "free mode" to measure any extremities.
