Spine kinematic determination is required to diagnose or rehabilitate back pain due to spinal instability. Ultrasound imaging, as a less harmful and cost-effective method, has been recently applied to kinematic analysis. This study reviews all available published articles to see how much progress has been made in spine kinematic measurement by ultrasound. In this regard, we searched PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar among all available studies until 2021, using keywords such as ultrasound, spine, kinematics, rotation, twist, flexion, and bending. Finally, after identifying and scanning 183 articles, only nine articles were included, which analyzed spine kinematics by ultrasound. Among these nine articles, three reported axial displacements, three reported flexion/extension, and three reported axial rotation. Although ultrasound is a suitable alternative to other kinematic measurement methods, very little research and progress have been made in this area. Today, this method is still not used practically for spine kinematic measurement because the bone scans via ultrasound imaging are challenging to understand, and no three-dimensional kinematic measurement technique has been reported. However, recent advances in converting ultrasound images into three-dimensional images can pave the way for further improvements.
脊柱运动学测定对于诊断或康复因脊柱不稳定引起的背痛是必要的。超声成像作为一种危害较小且成本效益高的方法，最近已应用于运动学分析。本研究回顾了所有已发表的文章，以了解超声在脊柱运动学测量方面取得了多大进展。在这方面，我们在截至2021年的所有可用研究中搜索了PubMed、Scopus和谷歌学术，使用了超声、脊柱、运动学、旋转、扭转、屈曲和弯曲等关键词。最后，在识别和筛选了183篇文章后，仅纳入了9篇通过超声分析脊柱运动学的文章。在这9篇文章中，3篇报告了轴向位移，3篇报告了屈伸，3篇报告了轴向旋转。尽管超声是其他运动学测量方法的合适替代方法，但该领域的研究和进展非常少。如今，这种方法仍未实际用于脊柱运动学测量，因为通过超声成像进行骨扫描难以理解，且尚未有三维运动学测量技术的报道。然而，将超声图像转换为三维图像的最新进展可为进一步改进铺平道路。
