title: Ultrasound based measuring-diagnostic and muscle activity measuring system for spinal analysis.
abstract: A modern motion analysis laboratory was installed by way of several scientific research instrumentation grants awarded to the Department of Applied Mechanics, BUTE. Motion and spine analysis is performed by a CMS-HS ultrasound-based system. System operation is based on ultrasound spread characteristics. In the area of spine analysis, it is possible to investigate the shape of the spine, its movement characteristics, mobility, and the movement characteristics of the cervical spine separately. The results of traditional spine tests are adequately supplemented by the results of the tests performed by this motion analysis system, considered to be a specialty throughout Europe. With the EMG (ElectroMyoGraph) sensors specify whether the muscles operate insufficiently or become active during the wrong motion, limiting the patient in motion.
