The head position and cervical alignment in patients with Chiari malformation: A retrospective case–control study
CM patients exhibit distinct biomechanical alterations, including an anterior shift of the COG and a more flexed head position. These findings highlight the potential of angular measurements as noninvasive diagnostic tools for CM. Future studies should explore the implications of these biomechanical changes on CM progression and treatment outcomes.
