Head-neck motion in prehospital trauma patients under spinal motion restriction: a pilot study.

Conclusion Among actual patients, movement appears to be greater than previously recorded in simulation studies, and to be associated with patient behavior. Miniature IMUs are a feasible approach to field-based measurement of H-N kinematics in trauma patients. Future research should evaluate the effects of patient compliance, treatment and phase of care using larger samples. PMID: 32045315 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
