Whiplash Injury Might Reduce Lumbar Spine Range of Motion Following Trauma
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Whiplash is the common denominator of a syndrome consisting of several disorders affecting different body areas, termed whiplash-associated disorders. One of the most common such disorders in low back pain. While the occurrence of low back pain following whiplash is well known, little is known regarding the effect of whiplash on spinal range of motion. The current study quantitatively assessed this effect.

Biomechanics of coupled motion in the cervical spine during simulated whiplash in patients with pre-existing cervical or lumbar spinal fusion
OBJECTIVES Loss of motion following spine segment fusion results in increased strain in the adjacent motion segments. However, to date, studies on the biomechanics of the cervical spine have not assessed the role of coupled motions in the lumbar spine. Accordingly, we investigated the biomechanics of the cervical spine following cervical fusion and lumbar fusion during simulated whiplash using ...
متن کاملWhiplash: a review of a commonly misunderstood injury.
Whiplash injury is a relatively common occurrence, but its mechanism and optimal treatment remain poorly understood. It is estimated that the incidence of whiplash injury is approximately 4 per 1,000 persons. The most common radiographic findings include either preexisting degenerative changes or a slight flattening of the normal lordotic curvature of the cervical spine. Computed tomography and...

متن کاملNeck lnjury Criterion Based on Intervertebral Motions and its Evaluation using an lnstrumented Neck Dummy
A new neck injury criterion (IV-NIC) was developed. lt was based on this hypothesis: A neck injury occurs wtien an intervertebral rotation exceeds its physiological limit during whiplash. An instrumented artificial cervical spine, incorporating human quantitative anatomy, kinematics and kinetics, was constructed. Twelve experiments were performed at 3 T1 -accelerations and 4 initial head-headre...
متن کاملبررسی تغییرات الگوی کنترل حرکت ستون فقرات کمری بهدنبال افزایش مقاومت: مطالعه کلینیکی
Background: Joint trauma and injury are the most common causes of dynamic instability. Dynamic instability has a great effect on the lumbar spine, due to its three-dimensional motions. The greatest amounts of compression and shearing force are imposed at the points of maximum torque and velocity. The changes in these phase angles upon bearing various loads can cause some pathologic conditions. ...
