DynaROM vs. ROM
Do you have patients who show normal MRI & normal endpoint ROM, but you know they're in pain?
Introducing DynaROM. MyoVision's DynaROM™ simultaneously measures muscle activity and Range of Motion, so we can see graphically, not only the "quality of motion," but if muscle guarding (a critical measure of patient's level of pain) occurs. This patented device allows us to objectively document a patient's response to soft tissue injury. Negative IME? No problem. DynaROM removes opinion from the argument and puts you in charge of patient care.

Watch this short video to learn why DynaROM is the tool of choice for establishing the presence or absence of soft tissue injury.

What is DynaROM?
|
|
DynaROM, or Dynamic Range of Motion, is a functional test that measures muscle guarding and range of motion at the same time as the patient moves. By moving the patient, we effectively elicit measurable pain responses and guarding when soft tissue injury is present.
DynaROM is the latest in FDA cleared, class II diagnostic equipment. It effectively and objectively measures the impact of soft tissue injury by documenting pain in motion. Over the past 12 years, we have noticed that a large percentage of patients display abnormal muscle guarding via DynaROM, despite having a relatively normal range of motion.

What do the results mean?
In the graphs below you will see 2 measurements - Muscle Guarding (upper half of the graph) and Range of Motion (lower half of the graph). These measurements are happening simultaneously while your patient performs 3 repetitions of a motion over a time span of 30 seconds. There are six of these 30 second tests to measure flexion, extension, left and right lateral flexion and left and right rotation.
Muscle guarding (top graph) is measured in Microvolts (the y-axis), across seconds (the x-axis). The blue line is the left lumbar, the red line is the right.
Range of motion (lower graph) is of course measured in degrees, and not only shows the degree of motion, but also the "quality of motion." Instead of only seeing the end point (the peak in this graph), you can also see "how" the patient moved into that motion. If the patient ratchets in pain, the graph shows this.
DynaROM objectively show the issues they state subjectively (like saying "ow, that hurts").

You can see the patient has normal ROM (lower graph) yet when they are fully relaxed, their muscles are still firing (upper graph) clearly showing injury.

This is an ideal exam showing normal ROM, no muscle guarding.

Its integrated use of sEMG and true wireless dual ROM is brilliant. Surface EMG effectively augments ROM by assessing effort.

This is a win/win situation for everybody... for the adjusters, the attorneys - you can weed out the patients that really don’t need the care, and you can continue the care for people who do need it. I was totally dumbfounded and noticed that they were allowing me to treat my patients - I wasn’t getting these letters from the insurance companies with IMEs. The only thing that I’ve changed was incorporate your program into this, nothing else.

Before purchasing, I did not believe the claims I had heard. Now after being paid in full for the first time in 30 years, I know the claims are true. Just two PI cases paid for my machine, but more importantly, it provides the objective data attorneys are looking for.

How easy is DynaROM in comparison to traditional Endpoint ROM? Watch!The brilliance of the DynaROM design is that we perform the exact same exam as endpoint ROM, but are measuring the muscular guarding response simultaneously. This means that other than attaching electrodes, it takes the exact same time as ROM testing. And it pays 5 times more than ROM testing, yet allows us to see muscle guarding in response to pain. This can significantly increase sensitivity to soft tissue injury.

Many doctors avoid engaging PI patients for fear of being deposed. How is it DynaROM Doctors are shielded from the Pain of PI?
- Using DynaROM you are less likely to be deposed to begin with, because DynaROM has been tested and established all the way up to the State Supreme Court level.
- DynaROM has won countless cases. The opposition prefers to settle rather than challenge the results of this tool. Armed with DynaROM Data, you're bulletproof.
- In the unlikely event that you are deposed, our "Dream Team" of experts will handle the depositions for you. The security of having the proven experts on your side is comforting and makes PI painless.
