Abstract
Information about kinematics in different functional spinal units before and after total disc arthroplasties is necessary to improve prostheses and determine indications. There is little information about the nonstationary instantaneous helical axis of rotation under lateral bending in the cervical spine before and after total disc arthroplasty.
