Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A spinal kinematics system comprising:
a positioning system configured to assist a patient to perform a bending motion, the positioning system comprising at least one imaging sensor configured to image and measure displacement of a first vertebra relative to one or more adjacent vertebrae 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, the control circuit configured to process information received from the at least one parametric sensor;
wherein the control circuit is further configured to determine:
a range of motion score based on the measured displacement of the first vertebra;
a plurality of quality of sleep scores, based on a number of sleep interruptions during a predetermined sleep period detected by the at least one parametric sensor; and
a combined baseline score calculated using at least the range of motion score and a sum of weighted daily averages of the plurality of quality of sleep scores across a plurality of predetermined sleep periods; 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.
