    The study measured cervical spine motion in Beagles, finding greatest movement between C2-C5. This range of motion does not appear to cause severe degenerative disk disease in dogs.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Radiology
    • Comparative Anatomy
    • Canine Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Cervical spine range of motion is crucial for diagnosing canine developmental and degenerative diseases.
    • Beagle dogs are predisposed to severe cervical degenerative disk disease (DDD).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify the normal range of motion in the canine cervical spine using radiography.
    • To correlate cervical spine motion with the incidence of degenerative disk disease in Beagles.

    Main Methods:

    • Standardized radiographic positioning of mature Beagle dogs' heads and necks.
    • Measurement of motion in sagittal and transverse planes, focusing on intervertebral segments.
    • Identification of disk wedging and vertebral slippage.

    Main Results:

    • Maximal cervical spine motion occurred between C2 and C5.
    • High motion at atlantoaxial and atlanto-occipital joints can aid in diagnosing instability.
    • Severe DDD in Beagles involves disks C4-C7, suggesting motion is not the primary cause.

    Conclusions:

    • Cervical spine motion in Beagles is greatest between C2-C5.
    • High motion in the atlantoaxial and atlanto-occipital regions is a diagnostic guideline for instability.
    • The observed range of motion does not correlate with the severity of degenerative disk disease in the Beagle cervical spine.
