Cervical vertebrae

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is a degenerative disease of cervical spinal. The onset is usually insidious, with long periods of fixed disability and episode of worsening of events are taking place. Concerning to the pathophysiology of cervical spondylotic myelopathy, the injuries which are frequently repeated to the spinal cord are caused by static mechanical factor, dynamic mechanical factor and spinal cord ischemia. These factors are responsible for affecting the spinal cord through direct or indirect trauma and ischemia. Concerning to the diagnosis, clinical symptoms, neurological examinations, and imaging including plain radiography, computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are important for preoperative evaluation…

I also received instruction to allow my body move through each movement with fluidity. For example, coming from a background of jazz, my movement had to be sharp instead of allowing it to flow through the space with my body. Eye tracking my movement became an issue, but I was not sure how to approach it due to lack of training. Referring back to my jazz background, it was strictly enforced to keep the head straight forward instead of allowing our eyes to acknowledge our arm movement. I knew the…

Method. This works in our favor, because the vertebrae method is less likely to be accurate with a deceased individual. This is due to the lack of cartilage between the vertebrae. These assessments use the length of the long bones and the leg bones and inserts them into specific formulae based on sex and ancestry. Due to the ambiguous nature of skeleton number four’s ancestry, his long bone measurements will be calculated using all of the male formulas. Using Trotter and Gleser’s method for the…

tackler’s spine is an injury in which the spine in the neck (cervical spine) loses its normal curve and becomes unusually narrow. This happens when you use the "spear" tackling technique, in which the head is the first point of contact. Spear tackler 's spine can damage nerves and soft tissue near the cervical spine. You may not participate in contact sports while you have this condition. In some cases, the spine may return to its normal shape, and return to contact sports may be considered.…

Natalie Jara MED 2047 Scoliosis Mrs. Michelle Earixson-Lamonthe 2/6/2015 Scoliosis When a human is born, there are seven cervical, twelve thoracic and five lumbar vertebrae's. Viewing the spine posteriorly in a patient with a healthy spine you will see that there is no curvature from right to left but looking at the spine laterally you will find that there is a regular "s" shape. " This allows for an even distribution of weight. The "S" curve helps a healthy spine withstand all kinds…

The vertebral bone that I think was fractured occurred at C5. The C5-C6 spinal segment is located just beneath the middle of the cervical spine and helps provide the neck with structural support and flexibility. The cervical spine consists of seven vertebrae and is located at the base of the skull. Its function is to support the skull, enabling head movements back and forth, and from side to side, as well as protecting the spinal cord. Each cervical has its own functions. Say if the injury…

In this case, the claimant was 10 months status post left L4-5 laminectomy and discectomy on 11/14/2016. He reported persistent aching and shooting pain to his lower back radiating to his left lower extremities. He also had ongoing left leg pain with weakness and numbness. Despite previous surgery, the claimant continued to be symptomatic with low back pain. Considering this, an MRI of the lumbar spine is medically necessary and appropriate to further evaluate the claimant's condition. A visit…

The claimant works as a truck driver. He had an injury on 08/28/2017 while he was tying down loads, he suddenly felt low back pain. He was unable to perform his work the following morning. MRI of the lumbar spine dated 09/13/2017 showed desiccation of disc at the L4-L5 level with circumferential disc bulge and mild degenerative change facets. There was a mild bilateral bony neural foraminal narrowing at the L4-L5 level with possible but not definite L4 nerve root impingement. The tip of the…

The disease of the skeletal system I chose was plasmacytoma (with some mentions of myeloma). My article includes a case study with a 44yr old male named Mr.J. He had a complaint of lower back pain during his four-week follow-up. He is a very active and healthy male based on his diet and exercise. During the physical examination, he showed no signs of distress. Mr.J did have tenderness in the lumbar region, but no lesions were noted here. Everything else about him appeared normal with normal…
