movement protocol. Any pain experienced during the session can be recorded on a 1-10 scale by
selecting a number on the top right hand corner of the screen (1 being not painful at all, and 10
being extremely painful).

Flexion
1. Ask the patient to stand upright and flex forward as far as comfortable without bending the knees,
hold for 2 seconds and then return to standing position.
2. Once the patient has returned to standing position, ask the patient to repeat the movement until 3
repetitions are complete.
3. Note: the flexion movement usually takes 3-4 seconds to perform.

Extension
1. Ask the patient to fold the arms across the chest and stand upright.
2. Ask the patient to bend back (extension) as far as comfortable, and then return to standing
position.
3. Ask the patient to repeat the movement until 3 repetitions are complete.
4. NOTE: The extension movement usually takes 3-4 seconds to perform.

Lateral Flexion (Left and Right)

1. Ask the patient to stand upright with arms along the sides of their body.
2. Ask the patient to bend sideways (flex laterally) and slide their arm along the leg as far as
comfortable while avoiding any flexion / extension, hold for 2 seconds and then return to standing
position.
3. Ask the patient to repeat the movement until 3 repetitions are complete.
NOTE: the lateral flexion movement usually takes 3-4 seconds to perform.

Anterior Posterior Tilt while Standing

1. Ask the patient to stand upright with their hands on their hips.
2. Ask them to tilt their pelvis forward (anteriorly) and then backward (posteriorly) in a controlled
manner. It may help to say “Make an arch in your back and then flatten your back”.
3. Ensure the patient does not move their trunk.
4. Allow a few practice tilts in both directions prior to testing.
5. During testing ensure 3 repetitions are performed in the same test window.

Usual Sitting Position

1. Ask the patient to sit in a chair (ideally a desk chair) in their usual sitting posture.
2. Once the patient is seated, ask them to hold the position and begin the test.

Slouched Sitting Position

1. Ask the patient to sit in a chair and slouch as they usually would.
2. Once the patient is sitting in a slouched posture, begin the test.

Upright Sitting Posture

1. Ask the patient to sit in a chair in an upright posture.
2. When the patient is sitting in an upright posture, begin the test.

Anterior Posterior Tilt while Sitting

1. Ask the patient to sit in a chair with back unsupported and in an upright posture.
2. Ask the patient to place their hands on their hips and tilt forward (anterior) and back (posterior).
The patient must attempt to initiate and control the movement from their pelvis while avoiding
any trunk movement.

10. Normative Data
Normative values provided in the ViMove assessment reports are based on an analysis of lumbo-
pelvic range of motion in 50 adults with no history of chronic lower back pain (LBP).

Participants in the study were guided through a set of simple standardized postures and
movements, in standing and sitting positions, while wearing ViMove sensors. Range of motion
data collected included standing lordosis, flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and pelvic tilt
(anterior and posterior) in sitting and standing.

The age range for the normative data collection was 19-62 (mean 35 ± 12). Normative data has
not been collected outside this age range. Data was stratified according to gender and age groups
(18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-65).

The following table summarizes the ViMove normative values established for males and females
combined. Normative data was calculated for each age group, with the values summarized below
presented as the minimum and maximum mean over all age groups.

NOTE: The normative values displayed in the ViMove Live Assessment reports are based on the
mean and 95% confidence intervals calculated for each age group, using combined male and
female values.
