A time-driven activity-based costing analysis of motion analysis in adult spinal deformity

Abstract

A novel motion analysis (MA) protocol for patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) has been developed within our institution with the overall goal of improving functional outcomes through improved treatment planning and better-informed decision making. However, insights into the required costs are needed to facilitate adoption as part of standard care and associated discussions on reimbursement. Moreover, such insights can inform further adaptations of the initial research MA protocol (RMA) to a more compact clinical MA (CMA).
