This accommodates for muscular attachment, along with resisting hyperflexion. Ligamenta flava 1/6 Synonyms: Ligamentum flavum Ligaments unique to the cervical spine Alar ligament: Runs from the posterior aspect of the dens of C2 to the lateral margins of the foramen magnum. Apical ligament: ...
Rotation. The cervical spine and head turn to one side. Neck rotation is particularly useful when trying to look to the side or over the shoulder, such as when backing up a car. Lateral flexion. The cervical spine bends to one side with the ear moving toward the shoulder. Some movements ...
42 Involvement of the laryngeal muscles may cause dysphagia, dysphonia, or stridor.42 Cervical flexion is uncommon and may be passive due to neuromuscular weakness or active due to muscle pain.42 Although there are strict criteria for diagnosing idiopathic polymyositis in humans, these have not ...

the force created by pushing with the hand against the symptomatic side such that no motion occurs at the neck. The patient should be instructed to resist the motion of lateral flexion while actively retracting the shoulder blades (Figure 5). Hold 7 sec, 15 repetitions each for 2 sets daily...

When there are symptoms such as inability to complete fine hand movements or weakness of internal hand muscles, the risk of TCCS is greatly increased, and the symptoms are more serious [17]. Cervical instability may also increase the risk of TCCS. Cervical spine instability may occur when ...
Cervical muscle response to trunk flexion in whiplash-type right lateral impactsdoi:10.1533/ijcr.2005.0329The purpose of this study is to determine the electromyogram response of the cervical muscles to a right lateral impact when the trunk is flexed. Twenty healthy volunteers were subjected to ...
The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae joined in a convex shape by cartilage, ligaments, and muscles. Flexion of the cervical spine to the ventral aspect is limited by chin–sternal contact. However, extension to the dorsal aspect is unimpeded; in fact, it may be assisted b...
It may be possible that these lateral differences are more prominent in pilots than in our study population since during flight at night a large proportion of the time is spent with mild neck flexion (74.5%) and mild axial twisted posture (63.1%) (Forde et al., 2011) that could ...
