The mean sagittal lordosis of the C2-7 spine increased from -16.2 9.2 preoperatively to -18.5 11.9 at last follow-up.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cervical lordosis, flexion-extension angles, range of motion (ROM), and the angulation and the extent of vertebral slippage at the affected nerve root levels were measured preoperatively and at last follow-up examination.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Loss of cervical lordosis is an early finding. Spinal cord narrowing correlates with myelopathy. Neurophysiologhical studies (EMG and nerve conduction studies) can be used when the diagnosis is in doubt.[thamburaj.com]
