Range of Motion in Symptomatic Disc Degeneration with One or Two Level Severe Disc Degeneration in the Cervical Spine Examined By Kinetic MRI

초록

Degeneration in the Cervical Spine Examined By Kinetic MRI 8.94±9.45° in C56 and 7.71±6.31° in C67. In comparsion with normal disc group, transmotion value in C56 and C67 and angulation in C45 was statistically different(P<0.05)(Table 1). CONCLUSION : In symptomatic abnormal disc group including one or two level Grade V in the cervical spine, the total range of motion in cervical spine is narrower than symtomatic normal disc group. The authors obtain data of range of motion in transmotion and angulation in one or two level grade V degenerative intervertebral disc in the cervical spine and those data may help define how much cervical motion-sparing technologies would contribute with the recovery of limited cervical motion near normal disc group.
