    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Neurology
    • Diagnostic Techniques

    Background:

    • Accurate and timely evaluation of orthopedic and neurologic injuries is crucial for effective patient management.
    • Minimizing unnecessary diagnostic procedures, such as radiation-based imaging, is a key goal in healthcare to reduce costs and patient exposure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel, rapid technique for assessing the extent of orthopedic or neurologic injury.
    • To demonstrate the utility of this method in avoiding unnecessary radiation and associated costs.

    Main Methods:

    • The technique combines active motion against resistance with standard neurologic tests.
    • It is applied to awake, cooperative, injured individuals.

    Main Results:
