Pathology & Clinical Biomechanics

Use paired 2D and 3D views to relate vertebrae, discs and neural tissues. Compare regions before reasoning about movement. The atlas cannot establish a pain generator, muscle activation pattern or individual loading tolerance.

Learning Outcomes

Core Educational Objectives

  • Identify the atlas, axis and lower cervical vertebrae.
  • Describe the components of a lumbar motion segment.
  • Distinguish whole-disc source geometry from the nucleus teaching overlay.
  • Locate the cauda equina and distinguish radicular pain from radiculopathy.
