Normal spinous movement -right aN/C 81.8 aN/C 97.9
Normal spinous movement-left aN/C 97.1 aN/C 97.9

Midline of dens to left lateral mass .302 62.2 .697 85.7
step off right .566 78.6 .465 75.6
step off left .778 89.2 .665 84.4

aN/C Not Calculated. The extremely high prevalence of normal spinous movement during lateral bending confounded the calculation of kappa statistics for this measurement
