Range of motion (ROM) tells a chiropractor a lot about
the condition of the spine. Children and people with
healthy bodies generally do much better on flexibility
tests such as ROM. With injury, disease and the
natural aging process a person's ROM typically
decreases, indicating degeneration that many times
results in misalignments of the spine.
Though chiropractors and medical doctors have
administered range of motion tests for decades,
Insight Millennium technology has standardized these
tests with the creation of the inclinometer.
This instrument was inspired by, and operates much
like, a carpenter's level. When placed in position on
the patient's body, the inclinometer knows where it is
in space, and with the click of a button, the computer
records that position. When the patient moves as
directed, the inclinometer records the new point in
space, calculating the difference as the total distance
moved.
The examiner conducts an entire ROM exam,
recording the results with the inclinometer. The
computer then generates a table which names each
motion tested, the patient's scores and their
respective norms and a calculated percentage of
impairment, if any, for each movement.
