is there any questionable information about the cervical spine?

September 17th, 2008

i need information on different stuff about the cervical spine which seems to be unreliable / questionable. it can be about the structure, the biomechanics or the special test used in assesstment of the cervial spine.

thank you =)

Cervical vertebrae (Vertebrae cervicales) are the smallest of the true vertebrae, and can be readily distinguished from those of the thoracic or lumbar regions by the presence of a foramen (hole) in each transverse process. The first, second, and seventh cervical vertebrae present exceptional features and must be separately described, though the other four have common characteristics.

    Let us know how you do on that test. In the meantime, you can possibly find the information you need by searching at http://www.pubmed.gov. This site will have the current research in the field of spinal cord diseases and function.
