Abstract:
Cineradiography was used to study six patients with os odontoideum. Atlantoaxial kinematics was analyzed with the relative motion of the atlas on the axis. In all cases, the tracing of the anterior arch was straight in the sagittal plane, whereas the posterior arch moved in two different configurations: straight and S-shaped. In cases of S-shaped configurations, the anterior translation occurred in the neutral position. Such translation could threaten the stability of the atlantoaxial complex fixed with posterior wiring because circumferential wires allow the laminas to rotate in the sagittal direction. In patients with os odontoideum, pathomechanics of the atlantoaxial joint should be examined with cineradiography in order biomechanically to determine the soundest fixation.

Absolute Motion Analysis- General Plane Motion
As the drone's propellers rotate, an upward force is generated that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling the drone to lift off from the ground. This initial movement of the drone is along a straight path, representing a form of translational motion. In this phase, every point on the drone...
Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it instrumental in...
