Post fatigue changes in the stability of cervical spine
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) of the neck or cervical spine are a common problem in the modern workforce. An annual prevalence of 30% to 50% for neck pain among the general adult population was reported by the Task Force of Bone and Joint Decade on Neck Pain. Physical work demands, such as …

Global Airway Management of the Unstable Cervical Spine Survey
… in patients with unstable fractures of the cervical spine. Aiming to ascertain whether video laryngoscopy (VL) has replaced awake flexible intubation (AFI) as the preferred technique for airway management, we conducted a global survey to evaluate current clinical practice. Methods After …

Motor training and cervical spine manipulation: effects on sensorimotor integration
… dysfunction has become a growing area of study. Cervical spine manipulation, specifically in individuals with subclinical neck pain (SNCP); induces neurological changes, suggesting it has a positive neuromodulatory effect on brain processing. The effects of manipulation on motor learning in …

Comparison of passive cervical spine flexion in children and adults
… biomechanics, this study compared the passive cervical spine flexion of children to adults in specific age groups (6-8, 9-12, 20-29, 30-40 years). Subjects with restrained torsos and lower extremities were exposed to a 1 g inertial load in the posterior-to-anterior direction, such that the …

Ultrasound imaging of cervical spine motion for extreme acceleration environments
… skeleton, but is not currently used to image the cervical spine, the injury of which may change the biomechanics of the cervical vertebrae, which CT and MRI (the current gold standard in cervical spine imaging) are poor at capturing. To validate ultrasound as a modality for imaging dynamic motion …

Creation and Validation of a Dynamic, EMG-Driven Cervical Spine Model
… and pain are becoming more common in the cervical spine. There are many cervical spine models available, but almost all of them were made to study impact loading (whiplash), which makes them unsuitable for studying activities of daily living. A personalized, dynamic, EMG-driven model is …

The Effects of Wearing Headscarves on Cervical Spine Proprioception and Range of Motion
… wear of the headscarf might have an influence on cervical proprioception and range of motion (ROM). The cervical spine is unique in providing multidirectional movement as well as providing the sense of awareness of movement of the head and neck in space. Impairments in cervical mobility and …

Quantification of Cervical Spine Motion During Application of a Rigid Cervical Immobilization Collar
… of this study was to quantify the amount of cervical range of motion (ROM) that occurred during application of a rigid cervical immobilization collar and the amount of cervical active range of motion (AROM) available after application.</p> <p>Design and Setting: We evaluated the amount of …

A Virtual Model of the Human Cervical Spine for Physics-based Simulation and Applications
… of in vitro experimentation of the human cervical spine in the virtual world. The objectives of this study were to develop a virtual model of the human cervical spine for physics-based simulation and to apply the virtual model to studies of different surgical procedures and …

The prevalence of cervical spine dysfunction in tension-type headache subjects compared to nonheadache subjects
Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirement for a Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Technikon Natal, Durban, South Africa,1999.

Cervical Spine Tolerance And Response In Compressive Loading Modes Including Combined Compression And Lateral Bending
… on overall compressive tolerance of the human cervical spine, it is unknown if the presence of lateral bending is important to consider during impacts with the apex of the head. Compressive injury tolerance has historically been reported by identifying the axial force at the time of injury …

Development of an ultrasound system to measure in vivo dynamic cervical spine intervertebral disc mechanics
… such as helicopter pilots. The number of cervical spine injuries is expected to increase with the advent of heavier head-mounted equipment with most problems attributed to intervertebral disc complications. Currently, CT and MRI are the gold standards for the evaluation ofthe cervical …

Design and Development of a Traction Device for Semi-Automated Closed Cervical Spine Reduction Procedures
Cervical facet dislocations are traumatic injuries which can cause severe compression to the spinal cord. This can lead to extreme adverse outcomes such as full body paralysis or loss of life. Treatment involves a closed reduction (CR) of the dislocated cervical facet joints and alignment of the …

The effect of change to duration of isometric contraction in muscle energy technique to the upper cervical spine
… isometric contraction when treating the upper cervical spine with MET. The use of a 5-second isometric contraction appeared to be more effective than longer contraction durations for increasing cervical range with MET, but further investigation is recommended. This minor thesis was written by a …
