Intervertebral dysfunction refers to a biomechanical fault which is abnormal in both its dynamic and static components. A subluxation may be considered as being fixated and also slightly malpositioned in one or more axes of rotation. Subluxation may be considered as one component of a complex or syndrome of intervertebral dyskinesia, dysarthrosis or dysfunction. The biochemical and histological components explain some of the pain mechanisms, tissue changes and residual effects of acute and chronic intervertebral fixation and the need for repeated spinal manipulations and prolonged care. Interexaminer reliability studies indicate that a standard method of motion palpation is quite feasible and accurate. X-ray evidence of dyskinesia shows promise as a means of documenting subluxation fixations.
椎间功能障碍是指一种生物力学故障，其动态和静态成分均异常。半脱位可被视为在一个或多个旋转轴上固定且略有错位。半脱位可被视为椎间运动障碍、关节运动障碍或功能障碍的复杂综合征的一个组成部分。生化和组织学成分解释了急性和慢性椎间固定的一些疼痛机制、组织变化和残留影响，以及反复进行脊柱推拿和长期护理的必要性。检查者间可靠性研究表明，标准的运动触诊方法相当可行且准确。运动障碍的X线证据有望作为记录半脱位固定的一种手段。
