In Vivo Three-Dimensional Kinematics of the Cervical Spine during Head Rotation in Patients with Degenerative Cervical Spine
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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 kinematics of the normal cervical spine using this original method. The purpose of this study is to investigate in vivo 3D kinematics of the degenerative cervical spine in head rotation and to compare them with those of non-degenerative cervical spine.

Predicting the Risk of Hearing Impairment Following the Cervical Spine Diseases by Measuring the Cervical Range of Movements: A Pilot Study
Introduction: Cervical spine abnormalities can affect the ear vessels and or nerves with different mechanisms. Ear dysfunctions following cervical spine injuries can be manifested as hearing loss, vertigo, or tinnitus. Usually, cervical spine injuries can cause pain and Range of Motion (ROM) limitation. The major objective of this study was to determine which cervical ROM limitation was accompa...

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 کاملReversal of Degenerative Changes in Cervical Spine Following Bipolar Release in a Neglected Case of Congenital Muscular Torticollis
Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a common cause of torticollis in children. Despite the ease in diagnosis in management, rare cases may be neglected and untreated which may not only impose cosmetic problems for the individual, but also affects the cervical spine with accelerated degeneration. Most patients with CMT can be managed non-surgically with medical and physical therapies, a...

Background and Objective: Changes in the cervical spine curvature leads to increased shear force and compression stress on cervical spine and axial loading in different cervical segments. The objective of this study was to compare the general and segmental curvature in the upper and lower cervical spine of women with postural neck pain and Forward Head Posture (FHP), women without neck pain but...
متن کاملDysphagia Due to Anterior Cervical Spine Osteophyte: A Case Report
Introduction: Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are more common in elderly, but anterior cervical osteophytes that cause problems in swallowing are rare. The most common cause of this problem is DISH disease (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). Trauma is also suggested as a potential cause in osteophyte formation. Case Report: We report a rare case of anterior cervical osteop...
