Cervical Flexion Rotation Test | Rationale & Demonstration

The video tutorial covers the anatomy of the cervical spine, focusing on the atlanto-occipital and atlanto-axial joints. It explains Fryette's third law, which states that motion in one plane reduces motion in the other two planes. This principle is applied to isolate atlanto-axial rotation by maximally flexing the cervical spine, reducing lower cervical spine rotation. The tutorial concludes with a step-by-step guide on performing the cervical flexion rotation test to assess atlanto-axial rotation.
