We were able to develop and evaluate a method that quantifies the COE boundaries, COM displacement, and amount of sway within the COE along with the energy expenditure for a specific patient. This method of COE measurement will enable spine care practitioners to objectively evaluate their patients in an effort to determine the most appropriate treatment options, and in objectively documenting the effectiveness of their intervention.
