Cervical myelopathy results from compression of the spinal cord in the neck (cervical area of the spine). Symptoms of cervical myelopathy may include problems with fine motor skills, pain or stiffness ...

Definitive treatment of cervical myelopathy is a decompression of the spinal cord via an anterior and/or posterior approach. The decision to have surgery via the different approaches will depend on ...

While any slight protrusion of a disc is classified as a herniation, the most problematic ones are larger and more prominent over the passageway of a spinal nerve (called the nerve “root”). Cervical ...

Abstract: This study used estimates of dynamic endpoint stiffness to quantify postural arm stability following cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and to investigate how this stability was affected by ...

These have shown that it is more likely that the majority of cervical spine injuries occur due to buckling of the cervical spinal column. Objective To investigate the primary mechanism of cervical ...

Here, our study showed SCI-induced ectopic expression of Nav1.7 in abundant neurons located in deep and superficial laminae layers of the spinal dorsal horn (SDH) and upregulation of Nav1.7 expression ...
