What exactly does the 3D backscan involve?
We perform the 3D backscan using a Spinal Mouse, also known as the Idiag M360, is an advanced measuring instrument used at FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen for analysing the spine. This device provides a detailed, radiation-free analysis of the back, allowing for accurate measurement of both the shape and mobility of the spine.
How does the Spinal Mouse work?
- Preparation: The patient stands or sits in a relaxed position. The physiotherapist prepares the device for the measurement.
- Measurement: The Spinal Mouse is rolled slowly and quietly across the spine, from the upper thoracic vertebra (TH1) to the lower sacral vertebra (S1). During this movement, the device makes about 1100 measurements.
- Data transfer: The collected data is transmitted to a computer or laptop via Bluetooth.
- Analysis: The specially developed software converts the measurements into clear graphs and tables. The position and position of each vertebra, as well as the overall curvature of the spine, are displayed.
- Results: Deviations and details are immediately visible on the screen. The measurement results can be used to create an accurate treatment plan, monitor treatment progress and perform comparative screenings.
