Links between intervertebral disc degeneration and osteoporosis are repeatedly discussed. There is a conclusive explanation as to why osteoporosis can accelerate intervertebral disc degeneration. The health of our intervertebral discs – […]
Studying the developmental history of our intervertebral discs can help us to understand segmentation anomalies (Klippel-Feil, bar formation, etc.) as well as simply the biological construction principle of our spine. Embryology […]
For the understanding of degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system and especially of the spine, it is essential to deal with the special anatomical challenges of balancing in bipeds. While the […]
The upright gait requires balancing a relatively large amount of body mass on a rather unstable base (2 legs) with as little effort as possible. However, this “posture” is a highly […]
Rotational movements should be avoided in advanced spinal degeneration and after spinal surgery. Why is that? In this article, I would like to explain to you what generally changes in the […]
