BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Neck musculature mass has been suggested as a
biomechanical contributor to injury severity in mild traumatic brain injury. We sought to …

Study Design: Anatomic study of the suboccipital region, specifically the deep muscles of the
suboccipital triangle, was performed in cadaveric specimens. Objective: To observe and …

A connective tissue link between the spinal dura mater and the rectus capitis posterior minor
muscle was first described in 1995 and has since been readily demonstrated via dissection …

Research on the rectus capitus posterior minor (RCPM) muscle shows that it is one of the
most important muscles of the suboccipital region. In this article we review the anatomy …

Study Design. Serial histological investigation was performed on 10 cadaveric specimens
and biomechanical tests were performed on five specimens, both focused on the tissue …

Purpose The connective tissue between suboccipital muscles and the cervical spinal dura
mater (SDM) is known as the myodural bridge (MDB). However, the adjacent relationship of …

This study was designed to examine the anatomical relationship between the obliquus
capitis inferior (OCI) muscle and the cervical dura mater at the histological level. Eight …

Background The upper cervical region is a complex anatomical structure. Myodural bridges
between posterior suboccipital muscles and the dura might be important explaining …

Study Design. Anatomic study performed on 13 cadaveric specimens focused on muscles of
the suboccipital triangle, specifically, the rectus capitis posterior major (RCPma). Objective …

Background Clinically relevant scores of neck disability have been observed in adults post
mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), even in those who initially report to be recovered …
