  • High stiffness frame design for a spine manipulation device was developed in this research. For the safety of a spinal manipulation, high stiffness of the device is required. A finite element (FE) model of the device frame is created and validated by measured vibration data. Parameters are suggested for high stiffness design of the frame. Based on the Taguchi design of experiment (DOE), a practical set of design parameter values is suggested.

  • Grisel's syndrome is a non-traumatic subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint with an inflammatory condition in the adjacent soft tissues. Due to the instability of the cervical spine, careful airway management is crucial to prevent potential cervical spinal cord injury following airway manipulation. We successfully secured the patient airway using a supraglottic airway device (I-gel) in a patient who had previously diagnosed with Grisel's syndrome. The operation was successfully completed, and the patient recovered without any neurological complications. I-gel can be a good option for airway management during general anesthesia in a patient diagnosed with Grisel's syndrome.
