Figure Legend:
Distraction/compression (color) and shear (arrows) deformation are normalized to disc height (expressed by percentage of the disc height) of the C3/4 disc in a typical subject at the maximum flexion and extension neck positions. In the color code, 50% indicates a distraction that is 50% of the disc height and −50% indicates a compression that is 50% of the disc height. The arrows indicate the shear deformation direction and their magnitudes are represented by the arrow length. Scale bar (=1 mm) represents a shear deformation of 40% of the disc height.
