Sentence examples for mobility of cervical from inspiring English sources

In the global population (n = 173), patients with a DI had a significantly higher Mallampati score, had a more frequent history of head and neck disease (n = 7 [21 %] vs n = 4 [1, 72 %], p < 0.0001) and presented more often with a low thyro-mental distance (n = 13 [39 %] vs n = 34 [15 %]) or a reduced mobility of cervical spine (n = 5 [15 %] vs n = 7 [3 %]).

Additionally, subjects described symptoms of pain and reduced mobility of cervical spine by filling in the cervical Oswestry scale.

The main predictors of difficult intubation were related to the patient (Mallampati score III or IV, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, reduced mobility of cervical spine, limited mouth opening), the pathology (coma, severe hypoxia) and the operator (non¬anesthesiologist) (Table 1).

The MACOCHA score, a seven-item (Mallampati score III or IV, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, reduced mobility of cervical spine, limited mouth opening, severe hypoxia, coma, nonanesthesiologist as operator) predictor of difficult intubation with a cut-off of 3 points [ 7], was assessed.

In multivariate analysis, the main predictors of DI (incidence = 11.3%) were related to the patient (Mallampati score III or IV, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, reduced mobility of cervical spine, limited mouth opening), to pathology (severe hypoxia, coma) and to the operator (non-anesthesiologist).

A study exploring the effects of population mobility on cervical screening coverage in London[ 12] estimated that movement in and out of some boroughs could mean that up to 20% of the population changed each year.

Fusion for cervical stabilization substantially decreases the mobility of the cervical spine and predisposes the discs above and below the fusion to degeneration.

Physical examination revealed that all tendon reflexes increased and that the neck was short and squat with a moderate reduced mobility of the cervical spine.

Active physiotherapy, functional stability and mobility of the cervical spine may ameliorate pain in many patients but not in all.

The segmental contribution of each level to the total angular mobility of the cervical spine during lateral bending was defined as percentage segmental mobility, which was calculated as follows [ 22, 23, 25]: (angular variation of each segment in degrees)/ total angular motion in degrees) × 100.

The results of improving the mobility and reduction of cervical spine pain influenced the cervical Oswestry scale score.
