Spinal motion segment is the functional unit that two adjacent vertebrae including the intermediate spinal disc (synchondrosis) and the adjacent intersegmental musculature together form. Furthermore, it describes the comprehensive interaction of all bony, cartilaginous, ligamentary, and muscular components of a defined spinal segment. Thus, the spinal motion segment forms the smallest functional unit of the spinal column.
