NeckSmart
The NeckSmart solution provides healthcare professionals with a smart sensor-based tool for the clinical assessment of neck impairment. Implementing clinically validated assessment tests, NeckSmart analyses movement data and provides auto-generated reports.
With cloud-based storage, users can easily access patient reports to keep track of patients’ status and progress during rehabilitation in the clinic or at home.
NeckSmart Assessment
Butterfly Method
Evaluates movement control.
Head-neck movement is measured during unpredictable target tracking. Performance is compared to normative data from a pain-free population.
Range of Motion
Evaluates mobility.
Active range of motion in all motion planes can be measured. Maximum in the primary movement plane is reported along with the respective associated movement.
Joint Position Error
Evaluates posture awareness.
Measures the deviation from neutral posture after an active head-neck movement. Primary and associated movement reposition error is reported for the transverse and sagittal planes.
Technical Information
NeckSmart includes a wireless wearable sensor unit that measures head motion and syncs with a computer that runs the NeckSmart software, which displays the data in real time.
The patient wears the device on their head while performing prescribed head-neck movements under the supervision or guidance of a healthcare professional.
