[Retracted] Clinical Efficacy and Safety of “Three-Dimensional Balanced Manipulation” in the Treatment of Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy by Finite Element Analysis

Figure 2

Biomechanical analysis of the C3~C7 segment vertebral body in the process of “three-dimensional balanced manipulation.” (a) Stress distribution when the model was only loaded with a downward force of head gravity. (b) Stress distribution during head loading and upward traction. (c) Side view of the stress distribution of the vertebral body during the complete manipulation. (d) The overall model deformation distribution diagram when only the head gravity is loaded. (e) Distribution map of overall deformation when loading head and upward traction. (f) Side view of the distribution of vertebral body deformation under complete manipulation. (a–c) The color represents stress variety, red represents maximum stress, blue represents minimum stress, and from red to blue represents decreasing stress. (d–f) The color represents deformation variety, red represents maximum deformation, blue represents minimum deformation, and from red to blue means represents decreasing deformation.
