HE staining in the forward flexed neck group. Chondrocytes were arranged in a regular fashion with clear tidal line in the whole area before the flexed brace wear (a), cells were irregularly arranged 2 weeks post-experiment (b), tidal line was unclear and the cartilage cells of the end plate were decreased in number(c), chondrocytes were decreased further in number and the thickness of the cartilage end ate became thin (d).
