With differences ranging from 38° to 50°, the results show that the cervical spine is consistently more flexed when scrummaging against opponents than against a scrum machine. In contrast, there are little differences in the excursion of lateral-flexion (range 5–8°) and axial rotation (7...
In contrast with the upper cervical vertebrae, all five vertebrae in the lower cervical spine possess a vertebral body with superior concave and inferior convex surfaces. The uncinate process is a characteristic feature of lower cervical vertebrae that articulates with a depressed area of the adjacent...
Edward C. Benzel, in Spine Surgery (Third Edition), 2005 The Definition of Cervical Spondylosis and its Clinical Course Cervical spondylosis is a relatively straightforward disease process involving: (1) the degeneration of the disk interspace, with dorsal annular bulging, followed by osteophyte ...
Conclusions This is the first study to demonstrate single joint reposition errors of the cervical spine. The cervical spine returns to the upright positions with a 2° average absolute difference after cervical flexion and extension movements in healthy adults.Peer...
To investigate the prevalence of cervical spine damage due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the long term and to investigate which disease-specific factors are related to this damage.Patients with early RA from the Nijmegen inception cohort with 6 to 12 years of follow-up were included. Conventio...
Osteomyelitis of the Cervical Spine: A Potentially Dramatic Disease Osteomyelitis of the cervical spine is a rare disease, representing only 3% to 6% of all cases of vertebral osteomyelitis. In contrast with other locations of spinal infections, osteomyelitis of the cervical spine can be a much mor...
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine (C-OPLL) is a degenerative disorder that leads to the narrowing of the spinal canal and compression of both the spinal cord and nerve roots. This condition is more prevalent in East Asian populations, with marked regional ...
CT myelographic data in 80 patients with clinical evidence of nerve-root involvement or long tract signs attributed to degenerative disorders of the cervical spine were classed into five diagnostic groups, and their clinical significance... L Penning,J Wilmink,H Van Woerden,... - 《Ajnr》 被引...
The cervical spine is the third most common site of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), after the metatarsophalangeal joints and the metacarpophalangeal joints. Rheumatoid spondylitis primarily affects the cervical spine; involvement of the thoracic or lumbar spine is rare. (In contrast, ankylosing spondylitis...
In contrast with wrestling, in other martial arts, such as kickboxing or judo, high kicks or catches imply significant mechanical stresses for the cervical spine regularly. Taking into account the particular type of activity of the patient we presented, we preferred having clear evidence of ...
