Ligament Occipital-Axial Posterior

Posterior occipitoaxial ligament, or l. Occipitoaxiale posterius (OAP), is a flat ligament that connects the occiput with the posterior parts of the axis. The PDA is an important part of the musculoskeletal system and plays a key role in maintaining the stability of the head and neck, as well as stabilizing the position of the first cervical vertebra.

The function of a PDA is to limit upward and backward movement of the head, which can protect against neck and head injuries due to sudden movements. In addition, it is involved in maintaining the correct position of the neck and head, providing stability and balance.

The PDA ligament consists of a dense connective material consisting of collagen fibers and elastic ligaments. It runs between the back of the skull and the atlas, the first cervical vertebra, and provides a connection between these two structures.

Overall, the PDA plays an important role in the safety and stability of the head and neck and is an integral part of the normal functioning of the human musculoskeletal system.

**Posterior occipital axial ligament** is a ring-shaped ligament that strengthens the back of the head. Responsible for stabilizing the position of the skull in relation to the neck and shoulders. The anterior ligament provides additional support to the occipital bone at the back and is part of the nuchal bladder, which gives a certain charm to the American model. When struck, the nuchal ligament develops in many people, but it plays an important role. The posterior nuchal ligament is the connecting link between the neck and head. Responsible for the stability of scapular angles and comfort of posture and movement.

The posterior nuchal ligament, like any spinal ligament, has its strengths and weaknesses. Let's look at why this is where we notice weakness. And how it can be dangerous to health. On the Spinal Section page in the comments I also have a link with interesting cases of diagnosing this ligament, including stories of patients who were able to help themselves through the development of the “Principle of Unity”.

By the way, for information I would like to bring to my readers a small parable from an experienced palmist, for which I thank Yakov Khananovich Itkin, called
