Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a common spinal condition that often impacts an individual's ability to stand and maintain an upright posture. Poor balance often limits an individual's ability to perform basic activities of daily life (ADL) and can lead to disability. Current considerations of correcting ASD to improve balance focus on the amount of sway that one exhibits during normal standing. However, current tests do not provide insight into the limits of balance during normal ADL. The goal of this research is to develop a new balance assessment that includes a functional reach test (FRT) to provide numerical data on the limits of one's ability to maintain balance. The study will include both ASD patients and matched healthy adults and will compare postural sway measures between them. Wearable motion tracking sensors and a force plate will be used to monitor body movement and changes in the center of pressure under foot during normal standing and during a FRT. Data from this study will inform spine surgeons of ASD patient's risk of balance loss in daily life and enable further research on the effects of surgical techniques to restore balance among ASD surgery patients.
The scapula provides the base of the kinetic chain, which is stabilized by the surrounding muscles. Considering that activating the scapular musculature to stabilize the spine would restore the relationship between body segments, analyzing the scapular muscle activations in the treatment of hyperkyphosis may be a crucial component of an effective therapeutic program. Video games can be used to stimulate scapular muscles in children with thoracic hyperkyphosis because a game-based exercise program has been observed to increase voluntary motor control in children, thereby promoting selective muscle activation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of video game therapy on the activation of scapular muscles and postural stability in children with thoracic hyperkyphosis, as well as the contribution of these variables to upper extremity performance.
Objectives: Musculoskeletal problems have been a concern in dentists for years. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between posture and musculoskeletal pain in dentists.
The goal of this observational study is to examine the safety and efficacy of posterior sugary only in addressing post traumatic kyphosis. The main question[s]it aims to answer are: Is it a safe procedure? Is it a sufficient approach to address deformity? Participants will be managed by posterior only surgery to address their deformity and will be assessed for the radiological and functional outcomes.
the study aims to investigate the effectiveness of diaphragmatic release on upper crossed syndrome
The study is a Prospective, Randomized, Single-blinded, Sham device controlled, Parallel Treatment Grouped, Multi-center, Exploratory Clinical Trial to Evaluate Improvement of Cervical Lordosis and Safety of CGM MB-1701 (Spinal warm massage device, Ceragem Master V6) in Subjects with Cervical Kyphosis and Posterior Neck Pain.
Degenerative cervical kyphosis with stenosis (DCKS) is a common cervical spine degenerative disease, causing pain, numbness, and weakness of limbs, which seriously affect the quality of life of the patient. Surgery is an effective way to treat this condition, however, the best surgical procedure is still controversial. Anterior spinal canal reconstruction and fusion surgery (ACRF) is a new surgical procedure that previously proposed by our team, it combines the advantages of both the conventional anterior and posterior approach. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ACRF surgery for treating DCKS. A multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial was designed. Eligible patients will be randomly divided into three groups, including the ACRF group, the conventional anterior surgery group, and the conventional posterior surgery group. Demographic data, surgery Information, and follow-up results will be collected and compared between groups.
The investigator aimed to investigate the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) along with esophageal motility in thoracolumbar kyphotic patients who meet surgical spinal correction criteria. Because some patients refused to receive spinal correction surgery, our patients divided into surgical and non-surgical treatment (for example: brace) groups. The investigator intended to use (1) multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) monitoring to assess the height, non-acidic and acidic regurgitation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (2) high resolution impedance manometry (HRIM) to esophageal motility between pretreatment and posttreatment period. (3) the questionnaire to evaluate the reflux-related symptoms: the frequency scale for the symptoms of GERD (FSSG), gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) and Carlsson-Dent self-administered questionnaire (QUEST)
Thoracic hyperkyphosis, an exaggerated curvature between the first thoracic vertebra body (T1) and the 12th thoracic vertebra body (T12), has a high prevalence among older adults. The cross-sectional study conducted by the Principal Investigator found 72% of older adults in the Chinese community have thoracic hyperkyphosis. Thoracic kyphosis has been found having negative effects on self-image, physical function, respiratory function, pain, balance, and gait performance. Treatment options of thoracic hyperkyphosis included surgery, peptides injection, menopausal hormone therapy, bracing, traditional Chinese medicine therapies, and exercise. The previous studies reported that different types of exercise such as strength training, pilates, yoga, and corrective exercise were effective in reducing the thoracic hyperkyphosis. However, the previous studies either excluded older adults who have exercise habits or lack of information about participants' daily activity levels. Besides, all the group spine exercise interventions in previous studies were delivered by professional trainers or physical therapists in the form of face-to-face exercise classes. The current RCT will be conducted to provide kyphosis-specific exercise in the form of short video and face to face exercise classes as the intervention to Chinese older adults with thoracic hyperkyphosis. The RCT can test the effects of such kyphosis-specific exercise intervention on the angle of kyphosis, physical performance, pain, and self-image among Chinese older adults with thoracic hyperkyphosis. The investigator hypotheses that older adults receive kyphosis-specific exercise intervention (video and exercise class) have reduced the angle of kyphosis. And older adults receive kyphosis-specific exercise intervention (video and exercise class) have decreased pain, better self-image, and improved overall physical performance.
