1. A spinal kinematics system for measuring vertebral motion, the system comprising:
at least one imaging sensor configured for imaging and measuring vertebral displacement;
at least one motion sensor configured for detecting motion of a patient; and
a monitoring device having a processor and memory storing computer executable instructions that when executed cause the processor to:
process information received from the at least one imaging sensor and the at least one motion sensor;
determine an activity score, based on the vertebral displacement measured by the at least one imaging sensor and the motion detected by the at least one motion sensor, that measures a rest-activity cycle of the patient for at least one activity period;
determine a cumulative activity score by summing weighted daily averages of a plurality of activity scores across a plurality of activity periods; and
determine a combined score calculated using the cumulative activity score.
