Cervical Flexion & Extension BIOMECHANICS

The video discusses the biomechanics of cervical flexion and extension, focusing on anatomical changes, ligament tension, and joint movements. It explains how cervical flexion involves separation of spinous processes and tension in the nuchal ligament, while cervical extension involves approximation of spinous processes and tension in the anterior longitudinal ligament. The video also covers the role of facet joints, upsloping, and downsloping, as well as movements at the atlanto-occipital and atlantoaxial joints.
