Spinal precautions
Efforts to prevent movement of the spine in those with a risk of a spine injury / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spinal precautions, also known as spinal immobilization and spinal motion restriction, are efforts to prevent movement of the spine in those with a risk of a spine injury.[1] This is done as an effort to prevent injury to the spinal cord.[1] It is estimated that 2% of people with blunt trauma will have a spine injury.[2]
