Abstract Knowledge of spinal kinematics is essential for the diagnosis and management of
spinal diseases. Distinguishing between physiological and pathological motion patterns can …

Motion analysis is increasingly applied to spine musculoskeletal models using kinematic
constraints to estimate individual intervertebral joint movements, which cannot be directly …

Understanding the motion characteristics of cervical spine through biomechanical analysis
aids in the identification of abnormal joint movements. This knowledge is essential for the …

While previous studies have greatly improved our knowledge on the motion capability of the
cervical spine, few reported on the kinematics of the entire head-neck complex (C0-T1) …

To validate the accuracy of Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) cervical spine
modeling with three dimensional (3D)-3D registration for in vivo measurements of cervical …

Unlocking the biomechanical effects of cervical spine positioning rotation manipulation in
the treatment of patients with neck pain. In this paper, the safety of the cervical positioning …

The kinematics of the cervical spine during various functional neck motions has been widely
reported. However, no data has been reported on the cervical intervertebral kinematics …

Objective: To investigate the range of motion (ROM) index of a two-level cervical
arthroplasty. Methods: Seven human cadaveric spines were biomechanically examined from …

Background Arthroplasty with artificial disc replacement for surgical treatment of cervical
spine degeneration was introduced with the notion that motion-preserving approaches …

The vertebrate skeleton is composed of articulated bones. Most of the articulations are
classically described using mechanical joints, except the intervertebral joint. The aim of this …
