Spinal Sagittal Alignment in Patients With Dropped Head Syndrome

Conclusion. Increased offset of the gravity axis of the head represented by C2-C7 SVA was observed in INEM DHS. Magnified offset of the gravity axis of the head was affected by enlarged C2S, T1S, and T1-T4 TK for the strong correlation with C2-C7 SVA, respectively. Cervical kyphosis was considered as some of the anthropometric characteristics due to regressive changes in affected individuals; a correlation between C2-C7 A and C2-C7 SVA was exhibited. Level of Evidence: 4
