Zusammenfassung

Dieser Artikel beschreibt die Biomechanik der Halswirbelsäule. Das Verständnis von physiologischer Anatomie sowie den funktionellen Zusammenhängen ist Grundlage der Behandlung zervikaler Pathologien. Abweichungen von der physiologischen Biomechanik können zufällig und zunächst ohne Krankheitswert sein, krankheitsbedingt oder iatrogen durch z.B. Operationen hervorgerufen werden. Darüber hinaus ist es von Bedeutung die physiologische Biomechanik auch in der Planung von Operationen zu beachten, ebenso z.B. in der konservativen und manualtherapeutischen Therapie.

Abstract

This article describes the cervical spine biomechanics and its anatomic basis. Deep understanding of anatomy and functioning is inevitable to treat cervical pathologies. Deviations of regular anatomy and biomechanics can occur with or without pathological significance. Surgery itself can change biomechanical interactions. Therefore, cervical spine biomechanics should also be considered when planning surgery. Moreover, it is important for conservative therapy, especially manual therapy.
