Abstract

Spinal deformities appear very frequently in child or adult population. Researches in this field are widely spread and continuously developing now-days, as the current schemes of treatment are long-lasting, costly and not very effective. The authors propose an investigation method based on a set of sensors, which are accelerometers and provide data in order to generate a mathematical model of the spine, namely a high degree polynomial. Basic parameters, such as the Cobb angle are computed within the mathematical algorithm. The angles acquired by the sensors are recorded as functions of time, so that the change in shape of the spine during the exercises prescribed by the kinetotherapist is subject of study and a criterion for optimizing the nature and intensity of the exercises.
