Range of motion (or ROM) is the linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another. In biomechanics and strength training , ROM refers to the angular distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. [ 1 ]
Lumbar Spine - AP and Lateral +/- L5/S1 view in the UK, with obliques and Flexion and Extension requests being rare. [15] In the US, basic projections include an AP, two Obliques, a Lateral, and a Lateral L5-S1 spot to better visualize the L5-S1 interspace. Special projections are AP Right and Left bending, and Laterals with Flexion and Extension.
Goniometer made by Develey le Jeune in Lausanne, late 18th–early 19th century. A goniometer is an instrument that either measures an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position.
Image quality can be assessed using objective or subjective methods. In the objective method, image quality assessments are performed by different algorithms that analyze the distortions and degradations introduced in an image. Subjective image quality assessments are a method based on the way in which humans experience or perceive image quality.
Traditionally, SNR is defined to be the ratio of the average signal value to the standard deviation of the signal : [2] [3] = when the signal is an optical intensity, or as the square of this value if the signal and noise are viewed as amplitudes (field quantities).
Traditional non-image based lab gonioreflectomer with goniometric arms for positioning the light source and detector. Depicts sample and calibration coupon stages on moveable platform. The University of Virginia spherical gantry, an example of a modern image-based gonioreflectometer
Two points are marked: 5 cm below and 10 cm above this point (for a total of 15 cm distance). Then the patient is asked to touch his/her toes while keeping the knees straight. If the distance of the two points do not increase by at least 5 cm (with the total distance greater than 20 cm), then this is a sign of restriction in the lumbar flexion. [1]
A conductive ink based flex sensor. A flex sensor or bend sensor is a sensor that measures the amount of deflection or bending.Usually, the sensor is stuck to the surface, and resistance of sensor element is varied by bending the surface.
