main function of the cruciform ligament?
protects spinal cord from dens
characteristics of alar ligament?
Connect dens to median occiput
check reign for contralateral rotation and sidebending
Taut in flexion, lax in extension
rupture can be life threatening
Describe the sequence the body moves in during a whip lash injury..
Head moves in direction of impending force
Compression of neck from below
head moves backwards
body elevates
head hits the seat and moves forward
max excursion (no force stopping the forward movement of head)
what is the IAR?
instantaneous axis of rotation
what happens to IAR during a whiplash injury?
IAR moves from C6 to C5, altering the angle and causing a compression force from C5 onto C6. can cause inferior process of C5 to chisel into Superior process of C6
List and describe the classifications of disc herniations
Protrusion: annular fibers intact
prolapse: fibers disrupted, nucleus breaks through inner layer
