Abstract
A non-invasive method for determining kinematic movement of the cervical spine. The method compares biomechanical pathways of a human patient's head free range of motion in space with either standardized biomechanical pathway data or previously determined biomechanical pathway data of the same person to determine the nature and extent of abnormal kinematic movement.
