METHOD OF ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF REHABILITATION OF PATIENTS WITH DEGENERATIVE DYSTROPHIC DISEASES OF THE CERVICAL-THORACIC SPINE

Abstract

 The cervical spine's anatomical structure is characterized by its close proximity to vital 
neural and vascular components. The vertebral arteries, spinal nerves, and spinal cord are directly 
adjacent to the intervertebral discs. Rapid changes in movement, such as sudden acceleration, 
deceleration, or sharp rotation, can cause these structures to impact the intervertebral discs. This 
can occur during activities like sports, passive neck movements or cervical spine injuries
