This has been a review of some of the movements of the cervical spine. Much data remain to be accumulated and certainly much work must be done to evaluate the effect of forces in various directions upon these movements. Perhaps an improved understanding of these movements in association with an understanding of the pathogenesis of disc degeneration will enable us to better understand the development of spondylosis. Most important this review uncovers the fallacy of laying the blame for the development of cervical spondylosis solely at the door of increased or decreased mobility at certain area. Physical stress and tissue degeneration must be playing a significant role.
