Comparison of a SAM splint-molded cervical collar with a Philadelphia cervical collar.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of a SAM splint molded into a cervical collar with that of a Philadelphia cervical collar at limiting movement of the cervical spine in 5 different movements. METHODS This study was prospectively carried out in 13 healthy volunteer subjects. A hand-held goniometer was then used to measure degrees of maximal extension (starting in a maximally flexed posit...
متن کاملRemoving GPS collar bias in habitat selection studies
1. Compared to traditional radio-collars, global positioning system (GPS) collars provide finer spatial resolution and collect locations across a broader range of spatial and temporal conditions. However, data from GPS collars are biased because vegetation and terrain interfere with the satellite signals necessary to acquire a location. Analyses of habitat selection generally proceed without co...
متن کاملThe Canadian collar: a new cervical spine orthosis.
We developed a cervical collar (the Canadian collar) in response to the requirements of occupational therapists who manage arthritis patients. This orthosis overcomes the problems of heat and inadequate support common to many soft collars. The collar is constructed from nylon and polyvinyl chloride tubing, clipped together by nylon junctions, and from chin and breastplate supports of molded nyl...
متن کاملUse of a cervical spine collar during MR studies.
MR studies are highly sensitive to patient motion, which can, at the extreme, render them completely uninterpretable. In particular, MR exams of inherently poor signal, such as T2-weighted images or surface-coil images, suffer demonstrably. Many techniques have been attempted to minimize and to limit motion caused by the patient during these studies. While tape and velcro straps can restrict he...
متن کاملOptimal position for a cervical collar incision: a prospective study.
BACKGROUND The descriptions of the optimal method for placing a cervical collar incision for thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy are varied. It has been our impression that a collar incision marked in the neutral upright neck, migrates superiorly relative to the sternal notch when the patient is placed in the supine position. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of this impressi...
