INSTALLATION AND SETUP

I. INTRODUCTION

When you first look at the MCU™, it may be difficult to imagine that a cervical assessment can

be so simple. However, once you familiarize yourself with the basic components of the unit and

practice its operation following appropriate training, you will wonder how you ever did assess-

ments without it.

This MCU™ Operator’s Manual will review the basic components of the Multi Cervical™ Unit.

Once you are familiar with the components, you can explore the techniques and protocols for

performing a cervical assessment, including range of motion and isometric strength testing.

This Manual will also review the different types of reports that are automatically generated

using the information acquired throughout the assessment, as well as the clinical documenta-

tion you provide the Objective Documentation Evaluation System (ODES™) computer diagnostic

system component.

BTE Technologies recommends that the Multi-Cervical™ Unit be used in conjunction with a cer-

tified training program on The Melbourne Protocol. Two-day comprehensive training programs

are tailored to suit the specific needs of your facility. Refer to Section 10 for more information.
