Authors: Article type: Original Scientific Paper Abstract: The spine is the basis of the human skeleton that extends along the length of the back, and the joints of the vertebrae that make it up allow its mobility through all three planes. The thoracic part of the spine, due to the facet articulation with ribs and relatively thin intervertebral discs, is significantly rigid. In everyday work, clinical measurements of the range of movement are used to determine the mobility of certain joints. Accurate and precise measurement of joint mobility is extremely important for medical professionals, physiotherapists, product designers, and computer models.…
