Problem
Assessing and documenting cervical spine mobility, particularly range of motion and proprioception, often relies on subjective methods, leading to inconsistencies in diagnosis and treatment of conditions like concussions, whiplash, and neck pain. Traditional assessment techniques can be cumbersome, time-consuming, and lack the precision needed for personalized rehabilitation plans.
Solution
NeckCare offers a system for objectively measuring cervical spine function, comprised of a wearable sensor and cloud-based platform. The NeckCare device captures range of motion and joint position error data, transmitting it wirelessly to the NeckCare platform. This platform provides immediate access to detailed reports, comparing patient results to normative data and visualizing performance over time. The system facilitates the creation of individualized care plans and tracks patient progress during treatment, enhancing the standardization of clinical practice.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare providers such as physical therapists, chiropractors, and physicians treating patients with concussions, whiplash, neck pain, and other cervical spine conditions.
