MOTIONIQ IMAGING · ADVANCED SPINAL MOTION DIAGNOSTICS
Vertebral Motion Analysis®
Dynamic imaging to measure spinal motion, ligament integrity and instability. Objective testing for real impact: accurate, reliable, defensible.
OBJECTIVE TESTING FOR REAL IMPACT
Vertebral Motion Analysis — VMA®
Dynamic imaging to measure spinal motion, ligament integrity and instability. An FDA-cleared, motion-based technology that analyzes spinal movement frame by frame under controlled bending.
Objective Measurement
Quantifies abnormal spinal motion and instability.
Real-Time Dynamic Imaging
Captures motion during controlled bending not seen on standard MRI or static X-rays.
Valuable Evidence
Supports injury documentation, causation and case value.
VMA® REPORT EXAMPLES
Quantified, defensible data
CERVICAL TRANSLATION SUMMARY (mm)
| Level | Neutral | Flexion | Extension |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3/C4 | 0.4 | 1.1 | 0.9 |
| C4/C5 | 0.6 | 2.3 | 1.4 |
| C5/C6 | 0.5 | 3.1 | 1.8 |
| C6/C7 | 0.7 | 2.6 | 1.2 |
LUMBAR MOTION ANALYSIS SUMMARY
| Level | Max Trans. | Δ Views | Max Ang. (F/E) |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1/L2 | 1.2mm | 0.4mm | 8° / 6° |
| L2/L3 | 1.5mm | 0.6mm | 10° / 7° |
| L3/L4 | 2.1mm | 1.1mm | 12° / 9° |
| L4/L5 | 3.4mm | 2.0mm | 15° / 11° |
| L5/S1 | 2.8mm | 1.5mm | 13° / 10° |
Key Advantages
- Detects injuries often missed on standard MRI or X-rays.
- Quantifies motion and instability.
- Provides clear, visual evidence for attorneys and insurance companies.
- Helps establish causation and permanency (per AMA Guidelines).
- Supports higher case value and improved settlement outcomes.
OBJECTIVE TREATMENT RESPONSE
Before & after treatment outcomes
VMA quantifies treatment response by comparing segmental motion before and after intervention, giving clinicians and attorneys defensible evidence of efficacy that subjective pain scales cannot.
Sagittal Translation (Extension) at C5/C6
Returned to normal range
Following a 12-week targeted stabilization protocol, cervical translation at C5/C6 reduced from -3.1 mm (-22%) to -1.2 mm (-8%), moving the patient from a flagged excessive-motion threshold back within normal range. Static imaging showed no structural change across the same period.
Cervical motion, visualized in real time
VMA® captures dynamic fluoroscopic motion of the cervical spine through full flexion and extension, revealing segmental translation and rotation that static imaging can miss.
FROM MOTION TO MEDICAL EVIDENCE
VMA® report examples
Detailed, measurable data with clear visual analysis.
| Level | Neutral | Flexion | Extension |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3/C4 | -0.5 | -0.2 | -0.4 |
| C4/C5 | 0.3 | 1.1 | -1.5 |
| C5/C6 | -2.6 | -1.4 | -3.1 |
| C6/C7 | -1.4 | -1.0 | -1.0 |
Highlighted values indicate potential mal-alignment or excessive motion.
Key advantages of VMA®
- Detects injuries often missed on standard MRI or X-rays
- Quantifies motion and instability
- Provides clear, visual evidence for attorneys and insurance companies
- Helps establish causation and permanency (per AMA Guidelines)
- Supports higher case value and improved settlement outcomes
