Abstract
A device and process for measurement and treatment of spinal mobility is disclosed. The device includes an impulse and sensing head capable of determining spinal segment mobility by applying a force impulse to a spinal segment and generating a waveform characteristic of spinal mobility. An inclinometer disposed within the head determines the angle of incidence of the head in contact with the spinal segment in at least one, preferably three, axis. Characteristics of the waveform and the angle of incidence are analyzed to determine spinal mobility. The information in the waveform and device are then used to treat the patient by applying an oscillating head to a spinal segment so that spinal mobility is increased.
