Quantitative measurement of cervical range of motion in patients with torticollis treated with botulinum A toxin.
Improvement in cervical range of motion in patients with spasmodic torticollis by botulinum A toxin injection is difficult to objectively measure. Recently, a three-dimensional cervical range of motion system (EMROM) that measures primary as well as secondary cervical angles has been developed. This system uses an electromagnetic tracking system for data collection and a personal computer for analysis and graphic display of the data. We have tested the EMROM system and, from our results, believe that it can be used clinically to objectively and accurately measure cervical range of motion in patients who have spasmodic torticollis and who receive botulinum toxin injections.

Computer-based solution to a clinical education problem in a physical therapy course.
This article describes the solution to a logistical problem involving the assignment of multiple clinical experiences to students in an undergraduate physical therapy course. Physical therapy faculty members collaborated with a computer programmer to formulate a computer program that would satisfy the organizational needs imposed by this problem. We suggest that the skills of the physical therapist combined with those of a computer programmer can be used to generate effective, computer-based solutions to many other problems related to the organization of data and to decision making in physical therapy.
