Biomechanics of the upper cervical spine ligaments in axial rotation and flexion-extension: Considerations into the clinical framework

Conclusion: These outcomes supply relevant biomechanical characteristics of the UCS ligaments in flexion-extension and axial rotation by quantifying length and moment arm magnitude. Moreover, 3D anatomical modeling and motion representation can help in the process of understanding of musculoskeletal behaviors of the craniovertebral junction.
