Coccygeal movement: Assessment with dynamic MRI

European Journal of Radiology Roberto Grassi, et al. - Conclusion: Our dynamic MRI study indicates that the coccyx is mobile during defecation and that it is possible to demonstrate coccygeal excursions by assessing the difference between its positions at maximum contraction and during straining-evacuation. The measurement methods used in this study for evaluating coccygeal movements resulted in variably sized observed differences, but all yielded statistically significant results in demonstrating coccygeal excursion Read article: http://www.mdlinx.com/OrthoLinx/xml-article.cfm/1799476.
