Injury mechanisms of the cervical intervertebral disc during simulated whiplash.
STUDY DESIGN A kinematic analysis of cervical intervertebral disc deformation during simulated whiplash using the whole cervical spine with muscle force replication model was performed. OBJECTIVES To quantify anulus fibrosus fiber strain, disc shear strain, and axial disc deformation in the cervical spine during simulated whiplash. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Clinical studies have documented...
متن کاملUltrasound Imaging of Cervical Spine Motion for Extreme Acceleration Environments
Neck and back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in personnel in variable acceleration environments such as astronauts and military pilots. Ultrasound is known for dynamic imaging and diagnostic workup of the axial and appendicular skeleton, but is not currently used to image the cervical spine, the injury of which may change the biomechanics of the cervical vertebrae, wh...
متن کاملCervical Disc Deformation during in Vivo Functional Movement
INTRODUCTION The cervical spine is comprised of seven vertebrae (C1-C7) and the corresponding intervertebral discs (IVD) that exist between two vertebral bodies. IVD act as a cushion to prevent the collision of adjacent bones or the compression of critical spinal nerves. Each intervertebral disc consists of two regions: the nucleus pulpous and annulus fibrosus. The nucleus is an incompressible,...
متن کاملThe Bryan Artificial Disc
p0020The cervical spine is a linkage of specialized joints and, like other joints, may be the source of significant pain and functional incapacity with age, trauma, and subsequent degeneration. However unlike other major joints, the traditional perception is that motion in the cervical spine is not a necessity and has been routinely sacrificed for pain relief and functional recovery. For more t...
متن کاملThe biomechanical assessment of the cervical inter-vertebral kinematics, between DDD patients ICR based study
It is very important to pay more attention to spine from the biomechanical perspective. It would allow the analysis of initial conditions of the vertebral disc degeneration syndrome and adopting of normal spine kinematics to compare and match it with a degenerated disc and providing a biomechanical index as an indicator for the conduct of any surgical intervention including arthroplasty to maxi...
