| Research Abstract |
1. We have changed experimental animals from rats to gamecocks. (Because gamecock is two-legged animal. )
2. Destruction of posterior muscle and lamina caused local spinal kyphosis experimentally. (We purchased coagulator and high-speed drill using the grant. They improve the precision of this experiment. )
3. We have observed the progress after this operation. However, so far the sign of remodeling is unprovable.
4. As new finding, another deformity of Lordosis was formed at intact region. This change is considered as the secondary effect to keep head position.
