Range of motion (ROM) comparison with Dynesys system
| Flexion | Extension | Lateral bending | Axial rotation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freudiger et al. [3] 18.3 Nm | 4.3 | 1.1 | ||
| Schmoelz et al. [20] 10 Nm | 1.0 | 4.0 | 1.8/1.1 | 2.0/1.7 |
| Our study 7.5 Nm | 1.0 | 1.1 | 0.9/1.1 | 1.7/1.5 |
Values represent ROM in degrees for a specimen with the implanted Dynesys system (standard length). The applied moment for each study is also provided. In lateral bending and axial rotation, the motion is shown as right/left or total
