biomechanical assessment of cervical spine with artificial disc during axial rotation, flexion and extension
background: the cervical spine is the most vulnerable part of the vertebral column and the rotational movements are the most dangerous movements which may cause damages to cervical spine. a good treatment option for the cervical disc disease is the replacement of a damaged disc with an artificial disc that has shown satisfactory clinical results. methods: the c4 to c6 vertebrae of a normal subj...
متن کاملThe cause of axial rotation of the scoliotic spine.
To explain the cause of axial rotation in a scoliotic vertebral column, the influence of the gravitation force on a spine with a C-scoliosis has been investigated by means of a mechanical model. In this model the gravitation force takes hold of the three-dimensionally curved vertebral column eccentrically. From these reflections it appears that the axial rotation in the scoliotic spine can be e...
متن کاملThree-dimensional analysis of cervical spine segmental motion in rotation
INTRODUCTION The movements of the cervical spine during head rotation are too complicated to measure using conventional radiography or computed tomography (CT) techniques. In this study, we measure three-dimensional segmental motion of cervical spine rotation in vivo using a non-invasive measurement technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen healthy volunteers underwent three-dimensional CT of t...
متن کاملIn Vivo Three-Dimensional Kinematics of the Cervical Spine during Head Rotation in Patients with Degenerative Cervical Spine
INTRODUCTION: In vivo three-dimensional (3D) kinematic changes associated with degeneration of the cervical spine have not previously been well described since they are too complicated to elucidate using conventional radiography or computed tomography techniques. We have developed a 3D imaging system to evaluate the relative motion of individual cervical vertebra in vivo and reported the kinema...
متن کاملNew method for determining apparent axial center of rotation of lumbar and thoracic spine segments.
One main question in spinal kinematics is the determination of the spine's apparent axial center of rotation. Previous research on this topic has yielded contradictory results. The objective of this study was to determine the apparent axial center of rotation for seven lumbar and six thoracic spinal segments by developing and validating a new method. A custom six-degree-of-freedom device, allow...
