Pitfalls in the Management of Atlanto-Occipital Dislocation [PDF]
Asian Spine Journal, 2015 Atlanto-occipital dislocation (AOD) is rarely seen in clinic because it is characteristically immediately fatal. With recent progress in the pre-hospital care, an increasing number of AOD survivors have been reported. However, because the pathophysiology

The influence of contraction duration in muscle energy technique applied to the atlanto-axial joint [PDF]
, 2004 Background: Muscle Energy Technique (MET) has been advocated for the treatment of restricted range of motion in the upper neck. There is little evidence, however, to support the effectiveness of MET to increase motion in the cervical spine, or determine ...
