Investigating Cervical Flexion-Relaxation Ratio in Patients with Cervical Lateral Spinal Stenosis Compared with Asymptomatic Controls: a case control study
Abstract:Background
The cervical flexion-relaxation ratio (FRR) is known as a quantitative measure of the ability of the cervical extensor muscles to relax during the full flexion of the cervical spine. In this sense, the variations in the cervical FRR indicate some changes in the neuromuscular pattern of extensor muscles, and consequently, their functions. Compared with patients suffering from non-specific neck pain, the changes occurring in the pattern of the neck muscles' functions in cases with cervical spinal ste… Show more
