Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to determine if stretching exercises as a conservative treatment option will correct kyphosis in postural and Scheuermann's kyphosis.
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of a 4-week postural correction exercise program in reducing FHP in children carrying heavy backpacks to school. This study's findings could have significant implications for preventing musculoskeletal problems associated with FHP. Furthermore, the study's findings could inform healthcare professionals and educators about the importance of promoting healthy postures among children and adolescents to prevent long-term musculoskeletal problems. This is an experimental study. Subjects will be divided into two groups. Group A (control group) and group B (experimental group).fun activities will be performed by experimental group under the supervision of the therapist.
This study aims to validate and verify the reliability of the clinical measures used in the daily routine by doctors and therapists that allow assessing the spinal stiffness in all spatial planes. The secondary objective is the verification of the diagnostic accuracy of the most reliable tests in identifying the subjects at risk of failure, using as a radiographic standard the examinations performed by the patients during the treatment (data retrieved retrospectively) using as a control group those patients who did not obtain a correction of the spine curvature.
While various complex pathologies of the developmental age, such as Infantile Cerebral Palsy or Neuromuscular Diseases, are notoriously considered causes of alteration of locomotor development, it is scarcely known whether conditions much more frequent in the pediatric population, the so-called "Paramorphisms or Dysmorphisms", may be associated with more or less noticeable changes in locomotor development. On a few studies, flat feet and hyperlaxity has been correlated with a motor control delay or poorer motor performance, based on complex clinical tests or on stereophotogrammetry movement analysis. Although promising, these preliminary studies, in addition to not providing information on the possible influence of other paramorphisms, such as varus and valgus of the knees, do not provide conclusive indications. The aim of this study is to investigate, through clinical tests and wearable inertial units, the motor control of a pediatric population affected by Paramorphisms or Dysmorphisms and to compare them with a population of healthy controls, matched by age, taken from the recently developed control data set from Bisi and Stagni.
When the thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis are within a normal range of angular values back pain is less likely to occur. Angular modifications in the physiological curvatures of this sagittal plane have been shown to indicate spinal disorders. For instance, increasing lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis result in higher intradiscal pressure, tension in the spine's passive parts, and creep in the lumbar viscoelastic structures. One of the most important factors of human biomechanics, spinal curvatures provide optimal energy expenditure and movement capacity. Abnormal adaptations in thoracic and lumbar spine biomechanics can cause low back and back pain. Multiple spinal segments are covered by the lumbar erector spinae muscle (LES), which is regarded as a superficial back muscle. LES consists of two muscles, the longissimus thoracis and iliocostalis lumborum. To move the lumbar spine, the lumbar erector spinae muscle (LES) is recruited in a manner that depends on the applied force. It was suggested that patients used LES to compensate for laxity in passive ligamentous structures in an attempt to reduce excessive force on the lumbar spine. Excessive lumbopelvic movements and altered muscle activation patterns are common in patients with low back pain. Researchers have investigated the timing of each muscle's onset and the activity of the LES, and found that patients with low back pain had higher LES activation compared to healthy people. Exercises for strengthening the LES muscle have been performed trunk extension during prone position. Strenghening LES and thoracic extansors may lead to decrease or prevent painful spinal disorders, improve thoracic excessive kyphosis and other complications. Prone trunk extension exercises is used to clinically exercise approcah to activate weak and susceptible to fatigue LES muscle in patients with nonspecific low back pain. This exercise lead to not only strentghening but also lengthening and streching these muscles. To fully understand the effects and underliying the mechanism of this exercise, biomechanical changes in lumbopelvic movement patterns of individuals with kyphotic posture should be examined. Based on current evidence, it is not clear the mechanism that the prone trunk extension exercises is effective on different spinal alignment postures as excessive thoracic khyposis and compansation mechanism on lumbal lordosis. Thus findings from this research may guide clinicians to examine the effects of different prone trunk extension exercises on LES muscles activation. Mitani et al showed that different upper extremity postures effects the lumbal multifudis activations during standing. Brown et al indicated that sit-stand workstations do not change muscle activations of lumbar muscles. Muyor et al concluded that spinal aligment of cyclists affects core muscle activity during cyling. Wattananon et al demonstrated that clinicians should focus on muscle activation patterns rather than the amount of lumbopelvic motion during prone hip extension. Based on the current studies, and to optimally address the underlying mechanism that the main objective was to investigate and show the effects of lumbal lordosis and thoracic kyphosis angles on muscle activations during different low back exercises.
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of scapular stabilization exercises on scapular muscles strength (serratus anterior, lower fibers of trapezius, rhomboid major and minor), pain intensity level and kyphosis index in different duration of time using daily of smartphone in smartphone users.
Multicenter, multinational Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) study on the safety and performance of Ennovate® Complex - A prospective, pure data collection of all Ennovate® scoliosis patients in selected centers (not interventional, multicentric)
This study aimed to investigate the effect of rıgıd brace treatment on spinopelvic parameters and GAP score in patients with adolescent hyperkyphosis. This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Thirty-two patients who were diagnosed with structural hyperkyphosis and treated with CAD-CAM design rigid brace were included in the study in Formed Healthcare Scoliosis Treatment and Brace Center between December 2015-2020.
