From: Cervical disc prostheses need a variable center of rotation for flexion / extension below disc level, plus a separate COR for lateral bending above disc level to more closely replicate in-vivo motion: MRI-based biomechanical in-vivo study

Fig. 5

COR flexion/extension C4/5 for the respective intervals ME-IE, IE-N, N-IF and IF-MF in relation to the COR for maximum flexion / extension. Coordinate-origin 0/0 represents the COR for maximum flexion/extension. (ME: maximum extension; IE: intermediate extension; N: neutral; IF: intermediate flexion; MF: maximum flexion)
