Normal kinematics of the upper cervical spine during the Flexion-Rotation Test - In vivo measurements using magnetic resonance imaging.
The Flexion-Rotation Test (FRT) is proposed to assess mobility primarily at C1-C2. However, there is no in vivo measurement investigating the validity of the FRT. The purpose of this study was 1) to examine measurement reliability of segmental upper cervical movements using magnetic resonance imaging and 2) to investigate the content validity of the FRT. Nineteen asymptomatic female subjects (m...
متن کاملbiomechanical assessment of cervical spine with artificial disc during axial rotation, flexion and extension
background: the cervical spine is the most vulnerable part of the vertebral column and the rotational movements are the most dangerous movements which may cause damages to cervical spine. a good treatment option for the cervical disc disease is the replacement of a damaged disc with an artificial disc that has shown satisfactory clinical results. methods: the c4 to c6 vertebrae of a normal subj...
متن کاملIntertester reliability and diagnostic validity of the cervical flexion-rotation test.
OBJECTIVE This article evaluates reliability and diagnostic validity of the cervical flexion-rotation test (FRT) to discriminate subjects with headache because of C1/2 dysfunction. In addition, this study evaluates agreement between experienced and inexperienced examiners. METHODS These were 2 single blind comparative measurement study designs. In study 1, 2 experienced blinded examiners eval...
متن کاملA normative study of cervical range of motion measures including the flexion-rotation test in asymptomatic children: side-to-side variability and pain provocation.
OBJECTIVES Cervical movement impairment has been identified as a core component of cervicogenic headache evaluation. However, normal range of motion values in children has been investigated rarely and no study has reported such values for the flexion-rotation test (FRT). The purpose of this study was to identify normal values and side-to-side variation for cervical spine range of motion (ROM) a...
متن کاملAnalysis of rotation accompanying shoulder flexion.
For effective rehabilitation of the shoulder, physical therapists must have correct knowledge of shoulder motion. Reports conflict on whether medial or lateral rotation of the humerus accompanies shoulder flexion. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between flexion and rotation at the glenohumeral joint. We determined rotation that accompanied active shoulder flexion by ...
