Screening of Instability of the Spinal Column With Spinal Mouse® and X-ray

The SpinalMouse is a computer-assisted medical device that measures and graphically reports on posture and range of motion of the axial spine. The data has shown to be highly valid and reproducible while compared to x-ray film. The aim of the study is to evaluate if the Spinal Mouse is a reliable clinical diagnostic device to screen those patients having instability in the lumbar area.
