The SpinalMouse® is a radiation-free spinal and free mode diagnostic device for the orthopedic field

Application

The SpinalMouse® is a radiation-free spinal and free mode diagnostic device for the orthopedic field. Developed in Switzerland, the SpinalMouse® is designed to determine spinal posture and spinal motion for each motional spinal joint (not only total, but regional motion) by simply gliding the SpinalMouse® manually down the back of the patient, along the spinal column. The measurements are computer-aided using a simple, hand-held wireless measuring device that is fast, harmless and has the accuracy and reliability comparable to that of radiographic analysis without radiation. It is especially effective in follow-up of artificial disc replacement and shows the impact of spine fusion at one level can lead, over a relative short time period, to degeneration of adjacent still motional segments. Because of the SpinalMouse® harmless characteristics, the therapeutic process can be extensively followed up using the SpinalMouse®.

Reimbursement

It provides you with objective documentation and reports that support evidence based medicine, as well as satisfying the requirements for insurance reimbursement. The evaluation protocol is a computer-generated range of motion test; 1 unit for the thoracic area and 1 unit for the lumbar area.

Cost Effective

The measurements done with the SpinalMouse® are simple to train, fast (only 5 minutes for a complete test) and anyone on the physician's staff can do the spinal assessment. The physician only needs to interpret the data. Saving time for the physician to concentrate on their core business.

Our customers who are using the SpinalMouse® include The Texas Back Institute, The Spine Institute at St. John's Hospital, Santa Monica and San Diego Children's Hospital; in addition to artificial disc clinical trials.
