Vertebral Motion Analysis is the first FDA approved, motion-based diagnostic for the functional assessment of spinal instability. Vertebral Motion Analysis is accepted by the AMA and major payers in healthcare. Its unique combination of motion imaging, machine-assisted patient flexion, and proprietary diagnostic platform are capable of measuring spinal instability in ways previously unavailable through existing spinal imaging technologies.
Motion Analysis is proven to be more accurate, more sensitive and more reliable than traditional spinal imaging.
VMA testing helps patients overcome the “guarding” that can occur during painful spine bending, enabling more patients to demonstrate evidence of spinal instability. The result is that VMA testing is 500% more sensitive in detecting lumbar radiographic instability as compared to flex-ex testing, but just as specific1.
VMA testing involves standard surgical C-arms to capture moving “video x-ray”-type images. Images are uploaded to VMA online servers, where they are processed to produce spine motion measurements used to assess spinal instability. VMA’s cloud-based system provides access to images and test results via any internet-connected computer, tablet, or smartphone. VMA provides online surgeon tools that make consulting with patients and interacting with insurance companies much easier.
