With spine and extremity testing protocols outlined in the American Medical Association's (AMA) Guides and The Practical Guide to Range of Motion Assessment, Tracker Freedom Inclinometry systems provide the objective range of motion data we need at AHP for treatment planning, progress tracking, patient education, and impairment rating.
The Tracker Freedom allows our treatment staff to accurately measure deficits to provide valid data-reporting [sample below] relating to patient injury, its impact on their activities of daily living [ADLs] as well as any necessary limitations on the patient’s work requirements.
Why did AHP choose wireless inclinometry? It allows us to...
According to the AMA, dual inclinometry is the preferred method for quantifying the compound motions of the spine. Using dual inclinometry protocols from the AMA, Tracker Freedom Inclinometry systems automatically subtract extraneous spine motion to simplify documentation and provide true ROM readings. The systems come with built-in protocols for cervical, thoracic and lumbar motions, including antalgic/ankylosed positions.
In addition to spine motion, Tracker Freedom Inclinometry systems perform double duty as a fast, convenient tool for documenting extremity motion. The systems come complete with testing protocols published by the AMA for all large extremity joints, including lagged and ankylosed motions.
We chose JTech's Inclinometer for these benefits...
