[The use of scales and questionnaires in vertebrology]
Abstract:
Assessment of treatment results using standardized questionnaires became a routine for clinical studies in all European spinal centers and in a number of Russian clinics. Questionnaires and scales that are commonly used in spine surgery are systemized in the present paper as follows: SF-6, SF-12, ODI, RDQ, QBPDQ, BPFS, VAS, NRS, CPGQ, MPQ, WLQ, Macnab, Prolo, LBOS. Recommendations on the analysis of data obtained with the help of these scale are presented.

Vertebral Column: Regions and Curvature
Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form the...
General Structure of a Vertebra
Muscles of the Vertebral Column
Superficial Layer:
The superficial layer consists primarily of the splenius muscles, which include the splenius capitis and splenius cervicis. These muscles are mainly responsible for the head and cervical spine movements, including extension, rotation, and lateral bending. The splenius capitis...
