THE MOTIONS IN THE CERVICAL SPINE IN HEALTHY PEOPLE AND IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC DORSOPATHY
The authors examined 10 healthy subjects and 20 patients with chronic cervical dorsopathy and registered the active motions in the cervical spine of the above mentioned subjects according to the proposed methodology. It is found out the in normal cases the rotational motions are symmetrical and, as well as nodding ones, have the equal temporal phases. Meanwhile the initial head position depends on the direction of the future motion — it is asymmetrical and contrary to it. In the group of patients the mentioned motions are realized within the significantly narrower range but the structure of motion persists.
