Document Summary

What happens to the neural foramina, spinal canal and also to. What happens with extension? spinal canal is where cord goes. stenosis flex: (neural foramen) hole gets bigger extension: hole gets smaller. Range of motion of mid to lower cervical spine: rotation, sidebending, flexion and. Range of motion to upper cervical spine: lateral tilting and nodding. During normal activities:tying shoes backing up a car washing hair in shower. Retraction: what happens with upper cervical and lower cervical. Protraction: what happens with upper cervical and lower cervical? retracted: upper cervical is flexed, lower cervical is extended protracted: upper cervical is extended, lower cervical is flexed. Rotation of head one way causes sp to move in the same or opposite direction. Convex occipital condyles moving on concave atlas. Lateral tilt to right will have right occipital condyle moving anterior and left occipital condyle moving posterior and vise versa. Oaa complex: transverse ligament disruption from the following:ra and down"s.
