STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether clivodens angle (CDA) could diagnose basilar invagination (BI) at computed tomography (CT). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Over the years, multiple craniometric methods such as Chamberlain line, McGregor line, McRae line, Wackenheim clivus baseline, and Welcher basal angle have been described for evaluation of craniovertebral ju...

During physiological motion, cervical spine ligaments limit the range of motion of the neck. However, the integrity of these ligaments can be compromised under excessive loading, specifically during vehicle crash scenarios, which is the leading cause of upper cervical spine injury [1]. Techniques to predict injury, such as the use of finite element models, require accurate mechanical properties...

Unequal propagation of central venous excess pressure into the different cerebral and spinal venous drainage systems is the rule rather than the exception. The intensity of the forces thus to be exerted on vulnerable cerebrospinal structures by the resulting pressure-gradients in the craniovertebral space is unknown. There is a need to consider the various conditions which may cause individual ...

Dr. Nicandro Figueiredo – Avenida das Flores 941 / 1 floor / Instituto Neurológico e da Coluna Vertebral 78043-172 Cuiaba MT Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Abnormalities of the craniovertebral junction are of great interest not only to anatomists but also to clinicians, because many of these malformations can produce neurological symptoms and death. Median occipital condyle is presented in...

The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) consists of the occiput and the first two cervical vertebrae, and functions as an articulation point capable of complex motions distinct from the remainder of the spinal column. These unique features make the CVJ more mobile than any of the other joints in the cervical spinal column, and important biomechanical properties must be understood in order to properl...

Telerehabilitation can be proposed to individuals with mechanic neck pain improve functional abilities and limit the risk of early degeneration musculoskeletal system due postural problems. This study was conducted investigate effect 12-week telerehabilitation on pain, posture, performance, energy consumption in mechanical pain.A program applied 78(23.79 ± 8.95)individuals pain.
