  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DIAGNOSING, TREATING, OR TRACKING SPINAL DISORDERS
    Publication number: 20100191100
    Abstract: Methods and systems for visualizing and analyzing anatomical motion are disclosed. The method includes providing a plurality of implantable sensors, each sensor configured for implantation adjacent to an anatomical feature of a patient and tracking the positions of the implantable sensors as the patient is put through a diagnostic motion protocol. The method also includes correlating the positions of the implantable sensors to the positions of the anatomical features of the patient adjacent to the sensors, visualizing a motion sequence of the anatomical features according to the positions of the anatomical features from the diagnostic motion protocol; and analyzing the motion sequence of the anatomical features to identify a medical problem.
