Cervical Muscle Composition in Degenerative Dropped Head Syndrome

This study is the first to quantify FI in the cervical muscles of DHS patients without neurodegenerative/neuromuscular disease. DHS patients showed significant muscular decompensation, with pronounced atrophy in both extensor and anterior muscles compared with ACDF groups. Further studies are needed to explore these relationships and evaluate muscle in DHS with neurodegenerative conditions.
