The role of paraspinal muscle degeneration in cervical spondylosis

In cervical spondylosis patients, the FI ratio of the deep cervical muscle is linked to both worsening disc degeneration and changes in cervical spine alignment. Among the different subtypes, cervical myelopathy shows the highest FI ratio of the deep cervical muscle and disc degeneration, indicating its significant impact on spinal structure and muscular integrity.
