Range Of Motion Instrument |
CROM
Deluxe
The CROM is the only instrument for
which normal values have been established for cervical range of motion.
As a health care professional,
you understand the importance of being able to correctly evaluate your
patient's cervical problems. Difficulty in getting accurate cervical
range-of-motion measurements is a common complaint. Even lengthy
training doesn't make measuring
with goniometers or
"stand-alone" inclinometers any easier. Each time you
measure, it's nearly impossible to reposition the
inclinometer in the very
same place you took the original measurement, and every time your patient
moves, you have to remeasure.
This is why Performance
Attainment Associates has developed the CROM which combines
inclinometers
and magnets in an easy-to-use instrument. The CROM provides
accurate, objective measurements every time.
Use the CROM to measure:
-
Suboccipital flexion and extension
-
Cervical flexion and extension
-
Lateral flexion and
rotation
-
Forward head motion
The CROM is user friendly
-
Takes only minutes to make
objective and repeatable measurements.
-
Lightweight, comfortable
frame adjusts exactly to patient's head and is secured with Velcro™
straps.
-
Positions easily and
securely like sunglasses.
-
Examiner's hands remain
free to guide patient's movements.
The CROM Utilizes
inclinometers
-
Inclinometers are required
by the AMA "Guide To The Evaluation Of Permanent Impairment"
Fourth Edition.
-
Separate Inclinometers are
used for sagittal and lateral planes to eliminate relocation during
measurements.
-
Inclinometers
are preset
to frame eliminating zeroing time and errors.
-
Fluid-damped Inclinometers
permit fast, accurate readings without waiting for oscillations to
damp out.
-
A compass allows rotation
measurements to be made in preferred upright positions.
-
The CROM eliminates the
positioning, zeroing and tracking errors associated with stand-alone Inclinometers.
The CROM assures repeatable
measurements.
-
The CROM, positioned to
the nose and ears, eliminates the substantial error (10% or more)
common in stand alone inclinometer placement.
-
The CROM, secured to the
head, eliminates tracking errors since it will not slip during
measurements.
-
By using nose bridge and
seventh cervical vertebra as landmarks, forward head measurements are
repeatable.
-
A magnetic references
makes fast, accurate readings possible with reference to the shoulder.
CROM
Basic
the CROM Basic contains the main frame, rotation arm and the
video in a small carrying case. In order to receive the forward head unit and its
additional attachments, please refer to the CROM Deluxe.
