Description
Tianji Huang and co-authors show that a phone's built-in tilt sensor can measure neck angles as well as the hospital's imaging software, in a 2023 study. One hundred twenty patients with cervical spondylosis had four standard sagittal angles measured both ways: two Cobb angles, the T1 slope, and neck tilt. Agreement between the phone and the reference system was checked, along with repeat readings by the same and different observers.
Every angle agreed strongly, with correlation-style scores above zero point nine four. Repeatability within and between observers was just as high. The average gap between methods was under half a degree. The phone was also faster, about forty-six seconds against sixty-nine per measurement set. The authors offer the method for quick clinic and bedside checks of neck posture, where a full imaging workstation is overkill.
