Sorry it took me so long to close this one, I wasn't sure so wanted to see if anyone else added ideas and do some research. I think "normal static equilibrium of the cervical spine" sounds better. Thanks for your help Liz and everyone else for input.

Funciones

Las funciones de la columna vertebral son varias, principalmente interviene como elemento de sostén estático y dinámico, proporciona protección a la médula espinal recubriéndola, y es uno de los factores que ayudan a mantener el centro de gravedad de los vertebrados. "Sontén estático", that's the key, static support.

normal stasis of the cervical spine


Explanation:
In the definition of 'stasis' below, the emphasis seems to be on fluids, but 2a simply refers to a state of balance. I couldn't find any references to the spine as such, so my certainty is only 3. The terminology may be wrong, but I think the idea is correct.

www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stasis
Merriam‑Webster
: a slowing or stoppage of the normal flow of a bodily fluid or semifluid: as. a : slowing of the current of circulating blood. b : reduced motility of the intestines with retention of feces. 2 a : **a state of static balance or equilibrium **: stagnation.
