Comparison of the ProAdjuster Analysis to the Penning Method of Determining Intersegmental Motion of the Cervical Spine

Logan College of Chiropractic

Overview

The purpose of this study is to determine if the ProAdjuster system of analysis can be used to determine cervical spine instability using the Penning system of radiographic marking as a standard of comparison.

This study will utilize the ProAdjuster Device as a method of assessing the motion of the cervical spine in participants with instability as determined by a Penning Radiographic analysis. Only participants with existing radiographic studies will be included in the study. No additional Radiographic will be required.
