Objective: To analyze computationally the biomechanical behavior of movements of the thoracolumbar segment of the vertebral column with no pathologic conditions using a smartphone accelerometer. Method: Nine subjects, aged 40 to 50 years, without vertebral spine lesions confirmed by physical and imaging examination, executed three cycles of movements. Data were collected using the System for Movement Monitoring and Remote Analysis in Telemedicine - SMMAR-T, which automatically defined Acceleration versus Time and Angular Displacement versus Time curves. Results: For each movement, comparisons between experimental and adjusted curves reached R² values higher than 0.91 in the most representative axes. Considering the individual standard and adjusted curves, the majority reached R² higher than 0.90. Between the curves of individual and general patterns, the R² values varied from 0.53 to 0.92. Conclusion: Biomechanical and computational means can efficiently and accurately analyze the behavior of thoracolumbar movements without pathologic conditions.
