Most HD patients showed loss of cervical sagittal alignments, and both MUNE and DTI detections demonstrated a positive correlation between loss of cervical sagittal alignments and cervical spinal lesions in HD. These findings supported that loss of cervical sagittal alignments may worsen motor impairments in HD. Therefore, it is necessary for clinicians to be aware of restoring cervical sagittal alignments during HD treatment.
