Activity Monitors as a Measure of Physical Function in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy

Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cervical Myelopathy

In brief

The investigators objective of this research is to compare activity monitor results with standard of care (SOC) question-based outcome measures for degenerative cervical myelopathy patients before and after treatment with decompression. Understanding of the relationship between activity monitor data and question-based outcome measures in the context of degenerative cervical myelopathy will improve our understanding of the disease and limit the effort to diagnose and monitor it.
