What are the examination items of cervical spondylosis?

Hello: physical examination, including whether there are local tenderness points, the range of motion of cervical spine and some cervical spine examinations. In addition, in order to locate diagnosis or differential diagnosis, nervous system examinations such as sensation, movement and reflex are sometimes appropriately selected. For example, the distribution area of sensory disturbance in hands and upper limbs is directly related to the location of cervical involvement. Therefore, it is helpful to diagnose by checking the boundary, volume and other senses besides pain, such as warmth, touch and deep feeling. Exercise examination is mainly about muscle tension, muscle strength, gait and so on. Reflex examination generally includes biceps brachii reflex, triceps brachii reflex, brachioradialis reflex and other pathological reflexes such as Hoffman's sign.

Routine auxiliary examination. It is mainly X-ray examination, which can take plain films of cervical spine in positive position, lateral position and oblique position, and can also take dynamic (over-flexion and over-extension) lateral films. Special auxiliary examinations include tomography (or tomography), myelography, vertebral artery angiography, CT and magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, in order to differentiate diagnosis, cerebrospinal fluid examination, electromyography, cerebral rheogram and other examinations can be carried out as needed.
