Filter by:The intent and design of this Phase 3 study is to assess vosoritide as a therapeutic option for the treatment of children with hypochondroplasia (HCH).
This is a long-term, multicenter, non-interventional study of children ages 2.5 to <17 years with hypochondroplasia (HCH).
Purpose: The causes of chronic and widespread pain in fibromyalgia (FMS) have not been eluciated yet. Previous reports determined that posture control changed, muscle strength decreased, body posture misaligned (maladaptive posture), and functional capacity decreased in FMS patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between loss of cervical lordosis, pain, quality of life (QOL) and neck disability in patients with FMS. Methods: A total of 107 FMS (88 females and 20 males; range of age:18-65) were included to the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the angle of cervical lordosis measured by the Cobb method, group 1 with a Cobb angle of ≤10°, and group 2 with an angle greater than >10°. Visual Analog Scale (VAS), QOL (36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36)), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) were used to assess pain, overall quality of life, functional disability respectively.
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.
The goal of this Randomized clinical trial is to learn about how fixing neck curvature and head posture right away affects heart rate, brainwaves, and muscle coordination in college athletes. The main question it aims to answer: - Whether forward head posture (FHP) may play a crucial role in affecting heart rate variability, brainwaves, and muscle coordination.
This study will assess growth over time and the clinical course of HCH in children by collecting growth measurements and other variables of interest.
Condition in which lumbar region experiences stress or extra weight and is arched to point of muscle pain or spasms is called Lumbar hyperlordosis.The study findings compared the effectiveness of frog leg technique and standard exercise therapy in management of low back pain due to lumbar lordosis.
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.
The study consists of collecting measurement data of the rachis in pregnant women and the subsequent outcome of her delivery. This will make it possible to validate a non-invasive imaging technique through software that can be used to study this anatomical curve proposing a new measurement method for the angle of lordosis. Finally, with the research data, the investigators will try to find a correlation between these variables (angle of lordosis and delivery outcome.
A randomized controlled study with six months follow-up will be conducted to investigate the effects of sagittal head posture correction on 3D spinal posture parameters, back and leg pain, disability, and S1 nerve root function in patients with chronic discogenic lumbosacral radiculopathy . Participants will include 80 patients between 40 and 55 years experiencing chronic discogenic lumbosacral radiculopathy with a definite hypolordotic cervical spine and forward head posture and will be randomly assigned a comparative treatment control group and a study group. Both groups will receive TENS therapy and hot packs, additionally, the study group will receive the Denneroll cervical traction orthotic.
