First, by leveraging the lateral flexion of the compliant spine, NeRmo can greatly increase its static stability in an initially unstable configuration by adjusting its posture. Second, the lateral flexion of the spine can also effectively extend the stride length of a gait and t...
Radiographic assessment of cage-assisted interbody fusions in the lumbar spinePlain radiographs, including standing lateral flexion and extension radiographs, are used in the evaluation of patients with low back pain and suspected pseudo...

Preston Inc., Model # 5030J1; in position 2) and maximal pinch grip strength (Baseline Evaluation Instruments, 60# mechanical pinch gauge, model # 12-0201) were measured bilaterally with the elbow flexed to 90 degrees, and with the wrist held in neutral between flexion and extension, ...
Lateral mass instrumentation may include a screw, staple or post in the lateral mass. Additional instrumentation such as a rod or plate may be used as a tension band to connect the rostral and caudal facet. This additional instrumentation may serve to limit flexion and extension as well as lat...
Alternatively, these surfaces can be domed so as to enable the accurate adjustment of the vertebral bodies to a centered position in the flexion/extension plane (i.e., to the center of rotation). The external geometry of the superior and inferior cages can be flat or lordotic, and can be...

Spine, traumaInjuries secondary to lateral hyperflexion forces are an unusual and commonly unrecognized entity. Patients demonstrate a wide range of symptoms and physical findings and may incur years of chronic pain if the lesion is not appreciated. Careful evaluation of historical evidence, mechanism ...
It is an in vivo study of lateral flexion of the lumbar spine. The technique for identifying each vertebra is described. The methods for condensing geometrical and kinematic rough data obtained during in vivo testing of the spine are presented. Parameters arising from statistical calculations are ...
Through optoelectronic systems it's possible to have an objective dynamic analysis of the spine during movement suitable for everyday clinical practice. The aim of this study was to explore the forward bending (FB), lateral bending (LB) and axial rotation (AR) of the spine using a complete ...
