VMA, or Vertebral Motion Analysis, is a diagnostic test for the assessment of spinal motion and radiographic instability. Today’s current test for assessing spinal radiographic instability is ordered over 5 million times per year in the US, largely by spine surgeons, because it provides diagnostic data that is necessary for many patients being considered for potential spine surgery. The VMA has been shown in peer-reviewed studies to increase the sensitivity in detecting radiographic instability with no decrease in specificity relative to today’s current standard test. It has also been shown to be more accurate, repeatable, and result in a lower dose of radiation.
OKI intends to begin commercialization efforts later this year in the United Kingdom, then expand from there. To support commercial efforts, OKI will be working closely with local distribution partners in each country.
