Claim 10:
11. A spinal kinematics system comprising:
a positioning system configured to assist a patient to perform a bending motion;
at least one imaging sensor configured to image and measure vertebral displacement of the patient as the patient performs the bending motion assisted by the positioning system;
at least one parametric sensor configured to measure one or more first parameters associated with the patient; and
a control circuit, having a processor and a memory, that is configured to process information received from the at least one imaging sensor;
wherein the control circuit is further configured to determine:
a range of motion score based on the vertebral displacement measured by the at least one imaging sensor;
a plurality of surrogate pain scores based on the one or more first parameters measured over a plurality of days;
a combined baseline score calculated using at least a sum of weighted daily averages of the plurality of surrogate pain scores; and
whether a procedure is recommended by comparing the combined baseline score to one or more predetermined cut-points, wherein a higher combined baseline score indicates the procedure is likely to be successful.
