Systems and methods for remote measurement of cervical range of motion

An apparatus for range of motion monitoring, comprising:

• a memory having stored thereon instructions for executing an application for reviewing data from an unsupervised range of motion monitoring procedure;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the processor to:
• receive the data from the unsupervised range of motion monitoring procedure, the unsupervised range of motion monitoring procedure comprising:
• displaying an interface providing a plurality of range of motion measurement options;
• receiving a user input selecting one range of motion measurement option of the plurality of range of motion measurement options;
• displaying one or more instructions in response to the received user input, the one or more instructions indicating how to position the apparatus;
• monitoring a user's adjustment of the apparatus to a substantially upright position using at least a first portion of the user's body, the apparatus configured to display an alignment indicator;
• in response to the apparatus being positioned substantially uprightly, continuously updating the alignment indicator relative to the user's body to guide the user in positioning at least a second portion of the user's body;
• in response to the apparatus being positioned substantially uprightly and at least the second portion of the user's body being positioned based on the alignment indicator, recording a video including a plurality of movements of the user by a camera of the apparatus;
• calculating one or more range of motion measurements based on the plurality of movements in the recorded video, including a difference between a start of measurement and an end of measurement;
• and
• displaying a visualization of the one or more range of motion measurements;
• output, to a display in communication with the processor, a screen display comprising:
• the video;
• and
• the range of motion measurements;
• and
• receive a second user input including feedback related to the video or the range of motion measurements.

A method of an unsupervised cervical range of motion monitoring procedure, comprising:

• displaying an interface providing a plurality of cervical range of motion measurement options;
• receiving a user input selecting one cervical range of motion measurement option of the plurality of cervical range of motion measurement options;
• displaying one or more instructions in response to the received user input, the one or more instructions indicating how to position an apparatus;
• monitoring a user's adjustment of the apparatus to a substantially upright position using at least a first portion of the user's body, the apparatus configured to display an alignment indicator;
• in response to the apparatus being positioned substantially uprightly, configuring the alignment indicator to be continuously updated to guide the user in positioning at least a second portion of the user's body;
• in response to the apparatus being positioned substantially uprightly and at least the second portion of the user's body being positioned based on the alignment indicator, recording a video including a plurality of movements of the user by a camera;
• calculating one or more cervical range of motion measurements based on the plurality of movements in the recorded video, including a difference between the start of measurement and the end of measurement;
• and
• displaying a visualization of the one or more cervical range of motion measurements.
