Clinical Anatomy Accepts CBP
Research
by Deed Harrison
Recently, the editor of the Clinical Anatomy informed me that our manuscript had
been accepted for publication with minor revisions. Our manuscript is entitled
“Do Sagittal Plane Anatomical Variations (Angulation) of the Cervical Facets and
C2 Odontoid Affect the Geometrical Configuration of the Cervical Lordosis?
Results from Digitizing Lateral Cervical Radiographs in 252 neck pain subjects.”
authored by Harrison DE, Haas JW, Harrison DD, Janik TJ, and Holland B. No
correlation of facet hyperplasia and cervical curvature was found.
This will be our first CBP® Nonprofit
publication in this prestigious journal and we are proud to state that our
manuscript is in press there. This manuscript is one step in a series of many
CBP® biomechanical investigations aiming to determine methods and parameters
that affect cervical lordosis. Previously, we had (a) investigated the
reliability of the flexicurve instrument in the cervical region (came out
poorly), (b) investigated the validity of the flexicurve instrument for the
cervical region (did not correlate to x-ray measurements), (c) correlated pain
and cervical lordosis to determine a clinical useful value, and (d) modeled the
cervical spine.
