Overview
T-spine rotation assessment evaluates the range of motion and quality of movement in the thoracic spine during rotation. This assessment provides valuable information about thoracic spine mobility and function.Instructions

Discrete Metrics
| Metric | Units | Description | Column Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direction | - | The direction of the twist [‘left’,‘right] | t_spine_rotation_direction |
| Peak Rotation | degrees | Maximum rotation angle, relative to ankles | t_spine_rotation_peak_trunk_rotation |
| Functional | - | If both pelvis and trunk rotations > 45° | t_spine_rotation_functional |
| Peak Pelvis Rotation | degrees | Maximum pelvis rotation angle, relative to ankles | t_spine_rotation_peak_pelvis_rotation |
| Peak Trunk-Pelvis Separation | degrees | Difference between trunk and pelvis rotation angles | t_spine_rotation_peak_trunk_pelvis_separation |
Notes
- Sufficient rotation is defined as ≥ 45°
