Filter by:This is a long-term, multicenter, non-interventional study of children ages 2.5 to <17 years with hypochondroplasia (HCH).
This study will assess growth over time and the clinical course of HCH in children by collecting growth measurements and other variables of interest.
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.
Hyper lordosis is a condition in which there is an excessive spine curvature in the lower back. Hyper lordosis is a very common symptom. It occurs in high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries and all age groups from children to the elderly population Only a small proportion of people have a well understood pathological cause-eg, a vertebral fracture, malignancy, or infection. People with physically demanding jobs, physical and mental comorbidities, smokers, and obese individuals are at greatest risk of reporting low back pain.Hyper lordosis creates a characteristic C-shaped curve in the lower back, or lumbar region, where the spine curves inward just above the buttocks. It often occurs as a result of poor posture or a lack of exercise. Hyperlordosis can cause muscle tightening and stiffness in the lower back. It can also damage the spine and soft tissues in the lumbar region. Hyperlordosis leads to excessive curvature of the spine in the lower back, causing the abdomen and buttocks to appear more prominent in profile view. People with hyperlordosis may experience mild to severe lower back pain, which may worsen with movement. Various conservative treatments are used to treat hyperlordosis and low back pain due to hyperlordosis. Most commonly used are the manual therapy techniques that employ William's protocol and hold relax stretching of iliopsoas muscle at lumbar spine. This study will be randomized control trial used to compare the effects of William protocol and hold relax stretching of iliopsoas muscle in subjects with hyperlordosis and low back pain. Subjects meeting the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using lottery method. Pre assessment will be done using LUMBAR SPINE QUESTIONNAIRE as subjective measurements and NPRS as objective measurements. Subjects in one group will be treated using William's protocol and the other one will be treated with hold relax stretching of iliopsoas muscle. Each subject will receive 08 treatment sessions with 02 treatment sessions per week. Post treatment reading for NPRS and lumbar spine questionnaire will be recorded after every week.
This registry is a observational, single-center study designed to collect clinical data on patients with achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia.
In this study we are investigating whether there is a relationship between the lordosis angle measured on cervical X-RAY images on the severity and level of cervical disc herniation detected by cervical MRI, demographic characteristics and the duration and posture of the person's daily life activities.
Objective: To investigate the immediate and long-term effects of cervical lordosis restoration and anterior head translation (AHT) correction, on pain, disability, autonomic nervous system function and cervical sensorimotor control in Athletes with Chronic nonspecific neck pain. Methods: 110 (51 female) chronic nonspecific neck patients with a defined hypolordotic cervical spine and AHT posture will be randomly assigned to the control or an experimental group. Both groups will receive a multi-modal program; additionally, the experimental group will receive the denneroll™ cervical traction. Interventions will be applied 3 x per week for 10 weeks. Outcome measures will include absolute rotatory angle (ARA), AHT, neck disability index (NDI), pain intensity, smooth pursuit neck torsion test (SPENT), overall stability index , left and right rotation repositioning accuracy , amplitude and latency of skin sympathetic response . Measures will be assessed at three time intervals: baseline, after 10 weeks of intervention, and at 1-year follow up.
This study will be conducted without blind method. The portable seat device devised to maintain lumbar lordosis will be made within 1 year after the loss of ambulation in the participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy with prospective design. In the control group, the presence of scoliosis will be calculated 5 years after the loss of ambulation in participants with Duchenne muscular dystrophy through analysis of retrospective medical records who had not been applied the portable seat device.
The aim of this observational study is to establish estimation of global lordosis of the cervical spine (from C3 to C7) in patients with cervicobrachial neuralgia.
