The effect of ex vivo flexion and extension on intervertebral foramina dimensions in the equine cervical spine

Abstract: SummaryReasons for performing study: In dressage, the head and neck position has become an issue of concern as certain extreme positions may imply a welfare risk for the horse. In man, extension and flexion of the cervical spine cause a decrease and increase in intervertebral foramina dimensions, respectively. However, in horses, the influence of flexion and extension on foramina dimensions and its possible interference with peripheral nerve functioning remains unknown.

“…For both QEMG and stimulated single fibre EMG, the muscle selection and location to be measured were based on 3 other studies (Wijnberg et al . 2009a,b; Sleutjens et al . 2010).…”

“…In the present study, a combination of modern neurophysiological diagnostic techniques was used to test the hypothesis that alterations of HNPs influencing intervertebral foramina dimensions in the equine cervical spine (Sleutjens et al . 2010), in healthy, base‐level trained Warmblood riding horses directly following moderate lungeing exercise, will alter neuromuscular functionality.…”

“…Ebenso stellten wir zwischen sechstem und siebtem Halswirbel die größte Winkelän-derung fest. Sleutjens et al (2010) fanden bei der Untersuchung von Wirbelsäulenpräparaten von Warmblütern im Computertomographen eine Verkleinerung der Foramina intervertebralia bei Extension des Halses im Vergleich zur Flexion des Halses. Zwischen physiologischer Kopf-Hals-Haltung und Flexion wurde jedoch kein Unterschied gefunden.…”

“…Unsere Haltungen wurden anhand von Bezugspunkten des Pferdes gewählt, um zu testen, ob am stehenden Pferd die Größe der Foramina beeinflussbar ist. Die physiologische Kopf-HalsHaltung (S1) und die Extension (S3) stimmen relativ gut mit denen von Sleutjens et al (2010) überein. Jedoch weichen die gewählten Flexionshaltungen voneinander ab.…”
