Postural control and low back pain in elite athletes comparison
of static balance in elite athletes with and without low back pain.

Oyarzo CA, Villagrán CR, Silvestre RE, Carpintero P, Berral FJ.

It may be concluded that static balance is impaired in elite athletes with low
back pain and that analysis of two-footed stance provides a sensitive
assessment of static balance in athletes.

Cervical spine alignment, sagittal deformity, and clinical implications

Cervical myelopathy is a serious manifestation of cervical spine disease
and may be initiated or exacerbated in a patient with cervical sagittal
malalignment. The deformity leads to a draping of the spinal cord against
the vertebral bodies, leading to anterior spinal cord compression and
increasing the longitudinal cord tension due to the cord being tethered by
the dentate ligaments and cervical nerve roots. The compression and
increased tension leads to an increase in medullary pressure and ultimately
neuronal loss causing myelopathy.
