Cervical Spine Assessment Made Easy: Red, Yellow, Green Zones for Better Communication

One, you're going to get the degrees to a tenth of a degree, which is awesome. There's a lot of specificity there and it's objective specificity. The second component is what I was looking at cheating a little bit, not knowing the numbers off the top of my head is that the graphical representation of what I'm going to say is your red zone, your orange zone and your green zone. Red being clearly dysfunctional, yellow being close to normative, and green being within the normative data set. That was a massive help for me because I'm not somebody who particularly thinks about these numbers day in and day out. So being able to have a visual cue on what's normal. Also, pretty much everybody knows red, yellow, green. So even from a lay perspective, if they don't know, your patient, as you're discussing this, doesn't know the exact degrees, they don't need to to be able to know, okay, great, where am I doing great and where do I have areas of improvement?
