A through understanding of the biomechanics of the cervical spine is necessary to apply its knowledge to management of cervical disorders intelligently.

Then, with these in mind, related kinemtics are reviewed with discussion of some of important clinical applications related to these facts. Finally, diagnostic points of cervical instability are stressed which can be used some of the guidelines in management of such patients in actual clinical situations.
