Filter by:Several studies have investigated the mechanical behavior of the thoracolumbar spine. However, an accurate reference for normal functional local alignment and segmental motion at the thoracolumbar junction is still illusive. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional cohort study with a balanced distribution of age and sex of healthy subjects to examine the normal alignment and segmental motion at the thoracolumbar junction using dynamic plain radiography. This study aimed to provide data that can be used when planning surgery or performing rehabilitation in pathological situations.
1. Background: In modern society, people are spending more time sitting due to the increased use of IT devices. Prolonged sitting with incorrect posture can lead to spinal deformities and an increase in spinal diseases. Common deformities include turtle neck posture, flat back, straight neck, and bent back. Misalignment of the spine is considered an important factor in causing spinal diseases, such as pain, arthritis, and degeneration. To address these issues, researchers have developed pillows and chairs that are ergonomically designed for everyday use and have been found to be effective. 2. Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether portable equipment can help individuals recognize and maintain correct sitting posture on their own. 3. Design: This study has a cross-sectional study design. Each condition is divided into three different sitting conditions. By using post-evaluation data, the intention is to compare the effects. (Condition A: sitting on a standard chair wearing an immediately feedback device, Condition B: sitting on a gym-ball, Condition C: sitting on standard chair) 4. Subject : Twenty-eight subjects were recruited as healthy students attending S University located in Nowon-gu, Seoul. 5. Result: The study found that maintaining a sitting posture immediately resulted in a statistically significant lower angle over time at the Cervicothoracic angle compared to other interventions. Similarly, a sitting posture immediately maintained a lower angle over time at the Thoracic angle compared to other sitting postures . However, the lumbar angle showed a significant increase over time.
The aim of this observational study was to the alterations in spinal alignment in individuals who have undergone RC surgery and revealed the differences compared to healthy individuals.
The study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Pilates exercise on spinal curvature and balance in patients with the upper cross syndrome. .
The main aim of the investigator's study is to investigate the effect of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) on spine joint reposition sense and also to investigate the effect of PSSE on vertebral rotation, pain, posture, body image and quality of life in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Twenty-six patients with AIS will randomly allocated to two groups. 'Schroth' exercises will apply to the PSSE group for 8 weeks (16 sessions). The control group wiil teach basic elements. Patients' spinal pain (Visual Analogue Scale), posture parameters (PostureScreen Mobile, Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI) and Anterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (ATSI)), cosmetic perception (Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale (WRVAS)), joint reposition sensations (dual-inclinometer), quality of life (Pediatric Quality of Life Scale and SRS-22) will assess at the first session and at the end of 8 weeks.
During the surgical procedure of scoliosis correction, large surgery extent and long-lasting strong nociceptive stimulation lead to postoperative pain formation of greater intensity compared with other orthopedic interventions. In these patients, duration of postoperative symptoms is longer, and may lead to persistent pain formation due to developing neuroplastic changes in the central nervous system.
In case of cervical foraminal stenosis without central stenosis, there are several options; anterior discectomy and fusion (ACDF), tubular retractor assisted micro-foraminotomy (MTPF) and posterior percutaneous cervical foraminotomy and discectomy (P-PECD). P-PECD is a modern technique and there was no RCT with MTPF, although P-PECD showed not inferior result to ACDF. Nowadays MTPF and P-PECD are minimally invasive surgical techniques, but there was no comparative study. The primary object of the study is to compare radiological outcome (segment angle) after MTPF or P-PECD.
The study will be performed to evaluate motor response and awareness with using sugammadex during wakeup procedure in spine surgery. The investigator's goal is to investigate the effect of sugammadex on the state of consciousness and motor-somatosensorial evoked potentials.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CarboFix' Pedicle Screw System in the lumbar spine.
The purpose of this study is to determine if tranexamic acid reduces perioperative blood loss and red blood cell transfusion during high risk spine surgery.
