Filter by:The aim of this observational study is to investigate relationship between cervical, thoracic, lumbar and thoracolumbar spine posture, spine movement, isometric and eccentric shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesis and core muscle endurance in healthy competitive young swimmers in comparison with healthy recreational swimmers. The main question is whether spine posture affects spine movement, shoulder strength, scapular dyskinesia and core endurance. Participants will asked to complete a warm up period, after that spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core endurance will be assessed by examiner. Researchers will compare competitive swimmer group and recreational swimmer group. Additionally correlation between spine posture, spine movement, scapular dyskinesia, shoulder strength and core muscle endurance will be investigated in competitive swimmer group. Aim of the study is to determine whether posture have any effect upon these parameters.
Kyphosis, a posture disorder, is excessive curvature of the thoracic area in the spine. In a healthy person, there is a normal kyphosis angulation in the thoracic and sacral areas in the sagittal plane. Since the sacral area is more stable, pathological conditions generally occur in the thoracic area. Kyphosis causes a bowing of the back, which leads to a hunchback or slouching posture. Normal values for the thoracic kyphosis are between 20˚ and 40˚ of angulations. When the curve of the thoracic spine exceeds this, it is described as either a postural kyphosis or Scheuermann's kyphosis. The study question is: Does kinesio taping have an effect on kyphosis and quality of life in adolescents?
Medical therapy that can lower PJK rates are also being sought. Teriparatide (TP), a recombinant human parathyroid hormone (PTH 1-34), is a bone forming agent mainly used to treat osteoporotic patients with high risk of osteoporotic fracture. There has been reports suggesting protective effect of prophylactic TP to osteoporotic patients receiving ASD surgery concerning PJK.6 Although it had limitations of small sample size and surgical selection bias owing to study design being retrospective. We hypothesized prophylactic TP would act as to reduce the incidence of PJK and therefore reduce PJF and necessity of revision surgeries in patients after ASD correction surgery. Our study can consolidate the beneficial effect of prophylactic TP to patients receiving ASD surgery by reducing the incidence of PJK.
This will be an open label, prospective study to determine the association between specific genotypes, epigenetics and behavioral factors, with the phenotypes, defined by pain perception, postoperative pain, analgesic and side effect responses to perioperative opioids, chronic postoperative pain and gene expression in adolescents following major spine surgery.
Are the KypDisT and conventional C7WD are practical, valid, reliable, and effectiveness of the tools to discriminate the functional ability impairments relating to kyphosis when compare with gold standard (Cobb's method), and compare among physical therapy, VHS and caregiver?
