Objective:
To investigate the validity of Coda Motion Analysis System for measuring cervical lateral flexion in normal adults in order to explore a new measuring tool for clinical and research practice.
Methods:
A total of 43 participants were involved in the study. Cervical range of lateral flexion were measured with Coda Motion Analysis System and "gold standard" X-ray simultaneously. The validity and agreement were assessed using the scatter diagram, the Pearson correlation coefficient and limits of agreement.
Results:
Cervical range of lateral flexion measured by Coda Motion Analysis System had no statistical differences with those measured by X-ray(P>0.05). The Coda Motion Analysis System demonstrated a very good linear relation with the X-ray measurements in cervical range of right lateral flexion, left flexion and total lateral flexion, and the Pearson correlation coefficients were 0.72, 0.85 and 0.90 respectively.
Conclusions:
Coda Motion Analysis System showed good validity for measuring cervical lateral flexion in normal adults. Because the reliability of Coda Motion Analysis System was established previously, the results of this study suggest that the system has the potential to be used to measure cervical lateral flexion in clinical and research practice.

Curvilinear Motion: Normal and Tangential Components
The positive direction of the t-axis aligns with the increasing position of the car along the curved path, denoted by the unit vector ut. Simultaneously, the n-axis, perpendicular to the t-axis, dissects the curved path into differential arc segments, each forming the arc of a circle with a radius of...

Absolute Motion Analysis- General Plane Motion
As the drone's propellers rotate, an upward force is generated that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling the drone to lift off from the ground. This initial movement of the drone is along a straight path, representing a form of translational motion. In this phase, every point on the...

Relative Motion Analysis - Velocity
When an external force is exerted, it sets the crank into a rotational movement. This, in turn, instigates the motion of the connecting rod, leading to what is referred to as a general plane motion. This process involves two key points - point A on the connecting rod...
