Department of Anatomy, University of Québec at Trois-Rivières, Clinical and Functional Anatomy Research Unit (URACEF), Trois-Rivières, Québec, Canada.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate in cadaveric specimens the reliability of measuring cervical intradiscal pressure (CIDP) and if posterior-anterior (PA) mobilizations targeting the cervical spine were associated with CIDP changes.
Methods: Cervical PA mobilizations were performed on the spinous processes of 7 (3 men, 4 women) cadaveric specimens using a servo-controlled linear actuator to provide 25N and 45N forces. CIDP measurements were performed at C4-5, C5-6, C6-7, and C7-T1 intervertebral discs (IVDs) using a fiberoptic catheter system that recorded CIDP for each IVD cervical segment.
