Radiographic 'mobility studies' of the cervical spine are frequently requested to exclude ligamentous damage and instability after injury. Such procedures are hazardous and are often unsatisfactory, as movement of the neck is limited by pain and muscular spasm. Certain precautions are suggested to minimize the risk of inducing spinal cord injury. These are supervision of the examination by a doctor, prior scrutiny of the neutral lateral radiograph, and permitting voluntary active movement of the neck only within the limits imposed by the patient's condition.
颈椎的影像学“活动度研究”经常被要求用于排除损伤后韧带损伤和不稳定情况。此类检查存在风险且常常不尽人意，因为颈部活动会受到疼痛和肌肉痉挛的限制。建议采取某些预防措施以将诱发脊髓损伤的风险降至最低。这些措施包括由医生监督检查、事先仔细查看中立位侧位X线片，以及仅允许患者在自身状况所限定的范围内自主主动活动颈部。
