The ligamentum nuchae has long been recognized as a key structure in the cervical spine, yet recent research reveals it is more intricate than previously understood. This ligament plays a crucial role in neck stability and movement, but its detailed anatomy and connections have remained somewhat elusive. New findings from a study supported by a £2500 ECU grant shed light on the ligamentum nuchae’s morphology, including potential attachments to the dura mater. These insights c

Walking is a complex activity that depends on the coordination of many body parts, especially the pelvis. When pelvic alignment is off, it can cause changes in how we walk, affecting step length and foot placement. A study by Marshall F (1996) explored how prone blocking techniques influence these gait characteristics in people with pelvic distortion patterns. This post breaks down the key findings and what they mean for understanding and improving gait through targeted inter

Electromyography (EMG) offers a window into how muscles respond to treatment by measuring electrical activity during contraction. In neurophysiology, this tool helps track changes in muscle activation that reflect underlying neuromuscular adaptations. This post explores how EMG reveals muscular activation changes following Category Two Sensory Organization Test (SOT) interventions, providing objective data on the neuromuscular response to care. Understanding Category Two SOT
