Q

Normally, the centre of mass of the head arms and trunk, is quite close to the axis of rotation. If we drew a line representative of weight force of the head arms and trunk, we’d find that the length of the moment arm in relation to this axis of rotation in the spine, would be quite small and therefore the internal moment that needs to be generated will also be relatively small.

As we flex the trunk we will get an ….. Displacement of the centre of mass for the head arms and trunk . So it is going to move forward in relation to our axis of rotation in our vertebral body
