Dr. Alan Goldman, Medical Director of iTech Medical ( http://www.iTechMedical.com ) discusses the patented information technology platform, Muscle Pattern Recognition (MPR). MPR is a unique clinical tool that analyzes patterns of muscle recruitment. It provides detailed physiological information on muscle function that can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of back and neck injuries and illness.

“The MPR technology will be the first quantitative tool developed for assisting in the diagnosis of the presence or absence of a musculoskeletal dysfunction (sprain/strain injuries) in a patient population,” stated Dr. Alan Goldman, Vice President for Clinical and Medical Affairs for iTech Medical.

“The availability of such an evaluation tool to a healthcare provider for patients with soft tissue, non-surgical neck or back complaints will substantially improve the accuracy of diagnosis, rehabilitation and case management decisions,” added Goldman.
