Abstract
A method for analyzing spinal characteristics of a patient believed to have one or more spinal abnormalities in which vertebral body rotations of the patient are determined for a plurality of spinal vertebrae and are graphically displayed along with vertebral body rotations of a normal person having no spinal abnormalities so that such displays can be readily compared to determine the locations of a patient's spinal abnormalities. Similar graphical displays of the differences in the relative rotational relationship of each vertebra and its superior neighboring vertebra can be provided for a patient and compared with graphical displays thereof for a normal person to identify locations of abrupt positional alignment changes representing spinal abnormalities Of the patient. Spinal stress unit values based on such vertebral rotations and rotational differences information, as well as on other selected parameters, can be determined for a patient with respect to successive treatments in order to provide a measurement of the progress of such treatments over time.
