- In-depth data analysis (Expert Mode)
- Segmental vertebral angles examined and reported
Application examples
- Research
- Rehabilitation
- Medical and surgical pre-post screening
- Physiotherpy, Chiropractic and Osteopathy clinics
- University Education
IDIAG M360 checkup
Regional vertebral values are examined, recorded and reported, with same precision as the Pro version, but the checkup does not include spinal segmental posture/mobility values.
Features
- Built-in check-ups (Idiag Spine Check)
- Simplified data analysis (Idiag Spine Score)
- Built-in exercises
- Regional angular analysis (not segmental)
Application example

" The diagnosis using Idiag M360has given me security for mytherapy decisions. "
Dr. Andrew Welsh Registered Osteopath
"Being able to accurately and objectively assess the results of physical examination is an important part of my role, as it is for many in the physical therapies, medical and other health & exercise professions.
Using the Idiag M360 in my clinic, I have the ability to instantly record and automatically report a very comprehensive, detailed spinal postural and active range-of-motion examination. The spine’s complex structure and function, particularly the difficulty in separating motion between regions and segmental levels, influenced my choice for this advanced goniometric system.
Common problems facing health practitioners include the time required to perform goniometric measurements during spinal examination, or expense and repeated radiation exposure associated with imaging, e.g., during regional spinal dynamic X-ray motion studies, not to mention the time required to interpret and then record those angular findings in to clinical notes. Further time is also required to prepare reports for third parties e.g. referring doctors, specialists, coaches, trainers, physical therapists, or insurance companies.
The Idiag M360’s ease of use, speed and accuracy compared with other measurement instruments such as dynamic x-ray, tape measures, universal goniometers and inclinometers makes it a stand-out.
Another decisive factor in investing in M360 for my clinic, was feeling confident with a large base of published research on the reliability and validity of Idiag M360/Spinal Mouse/Medi-Mouse, compared with gold-standard X-ray.
Along with the ease of comparing a patient’s spinal mobility and postural improvement over time with advice, treatment and exercise, the Idiag M360 is an invaluable teaching tool in real-time. Patients can easily visualize spinal areas of clinical interest, with built-in normative values to compare against their recorded results, and I can simply export the built-in exercise suggestions.
The impressive Idiag M360 reports have certainly led to increased referrals from medical professionals, sports coaches, and patients themselves. I am grateful for the professional support from the Idiag team helping me to set this system up in my clinic."

Idiag M360 - The future in spinal assessment - IN DETAIL
- Compact TGA approved Class I medical device.
- Determines regional spinal postural angles in the frontal and sagittal planes.
- Examine the mobility of each spinal segment in flexion, extension, and lateral flexion.
- Can be used repeatedly without exposure to any radiation.
An intelligent recursive algorithm computes information concerning the relative position of the vertebral bodies of the thoracic and lumbar spine, while taking into account the local curvature (kyphotic or lordotic). Accurate spinal segmental motion of all vertebral bodies is obtained as the final result. Segmental hypo- and hyper-mobility and even instability can be determined, with Matthias' Test built in to the software.
Accurate assessment is the key to successful spinal treatment
- Precise data on spinal column geometry.
- High validity and reliability - comparable with x-ray.
- Detailed documentation can easily be sent to referrers, health insurance organisations, WorkCover and other third parties.
- Validity and reliability confirmed by independent research.
An example of spinal assessment results
Recorded sagittal-plane regional and segmental angular values during physical examination of the spine (for demonstration).
The actual patient values are bold in the central columns, with normative reference values either side. Numbers in red are angular values falling outside of the normative range for the region or segment. Mobility values are derived from the difference between the starting and end-of-range testing positions, e.g. Standing Upright to Flexion, and total Extension to Flexion range.
