since you say that your spine will completely be stiff i dont think it is possible for you to move any parts of your body anymore because the spine has millions of nerves that is connected to the brain which controls our body on what we should do and if those nerves are already stiff i dont think it is possible for us to move further
My wife had to wear a back brace that went from her hips to her chin and back of her head with a band around her forehead. Her spine was held completely rigid by the brace which she had to wear for a year. No movement at all in her back or neck. She had to learn how to adapt to the loss of movement and relearn how to do normal activities. After about 3 months in the brace, she was doing really well with almost no pain, engaging in pretty much all activities as if she was not immobilized in the brace.
So, with a completely stiff spine, you get used to it and move on with life.
thanks for your answer sstella12
but i m a bit confused here even if your spine is stiff but still there are some movements in the body as if you think lateral bending or rotatory movements may be possible ................secondly do you have any idea of the last two questions what will happen if you put weight on your shoulders and how you will determine the stability of your spine? please if you have any information regarding that please share it with me as this is my assignment its too much confusing question............thanks alot once again
