Filter by:Several studies have investigated the mechanical behavior of the thoracolumbar spine. However, an accurate reference for normal functional local alignment and segmental motion at the thoracolumbar junction is still illusive. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional cohort study with a balanced distribution of age and sex of healthy subjects to examine the normal alignment and segmental motion at the thoracolumbar junction using dynamic plain radiography. This study aimed to provide data that can be used when planning surgery or performing rehabilitation in pathological situations.
The goal of this clinical trial is to analyse the effect of an intervention program based on hamstring flexibility on the extensibility and curvatures of the spine in dancers. Participants will be dance student with ten years of experience that will undergo a program of stretching four times per week during seven weeks, followed by a detraining period, and a retraining period of three weeks. There will be a pre-test, a post-test and two re-tests after the intervention. The results will be compared with a control group of dancers that will not take part in the stretching program.
1. Background: In modern society, people are spending more time sitting due to the increased use of IT devices. Prolonged sitting with incorrect posture can lead to spinal deformities and an increase in spinal diseases. Common deformities include turtle neck posture, flat back, straight neck, and bent back. Misalignment of the spine is considered an important factor in causing spinal diseases, such as pain, arthritis, and degeneration. To address these issues, researchers have developed pillows and chairs that are ergonomically designed for everyday use and have been found to be effective. 2. Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether portable equipment can help individuals recognize and maintain correct sitting posture on their own. 3. Design: This study has a cross-sectional study design. Each condition is divided into three different sitting conditions. By using post-evaluation data, the intention is to compare the effects. (Condition A: sitting on a standard chair wearing an immediately feedback device, Condition B: sitting on a gym-ball, Condition C: sitting on standard chair) 4. Subject : Twenty-eight subjects were recruited as healthy students attending S University located in Nowon-gu, Seoul. 5. Result: The study found that maintaining a sitting posture immediately resulted in a statistically significant lower angle over time at the Cervicothoracic angle compared to other interventions. Similarly, a sitting posture immediately maintained a lower angle over time at the Thoracic angle compared to other sitting postures . However, the lumbar angle showed a significant increase over time.
The aim of this observational study was to the alterations in spinal alignment in individuals who have undergone RC surgery and revealed the differences compared to healthy individuals.
The study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Pilates exercise on spinal curvature and balance in patients with the upper cross syndrome. .
Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) is a tool used by neurophysiologists during spine surgery to prevent irreversible damage to the spinal cord during procedures through a system of alerts. This study investigates the effectiveness of IONM in 300 participants receiving spine surgery. The goal of this study is to refine the alert criteria for procedures in which IONM is used.
Motor Evoked Potentials are an aspect of intraoperative neuromonitoring, a tool used by neurophysiologists during surgery to prevent irreversible damage to the spinal cord during procedures. This study investigates the utility of three separate quadriceps MEP recording approaches over a total of 40 limbs (20 participants).
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.
This study aimed to present the influence of unilateral and bilateral flat foot on coronal spinopelvic alignment in asymptomatic young healthy males. It will be carried out by examining the medical reports of individuals who apply to the National Health Board to work in positions requiring physical fitness between January 2018 and January 2019. Plain radiographies of the feet, pelvis, and spine will be analyzed. Calcaneal pitch angle (CPA) for flat foot, pelvic obliquity (PO), and Cobb angle (CA) for spinal asymmetry will be measured. After all analyzes were completed, participants will be divided into 2 groups as unilateral (UniFF) or bilateral (BiFF) flat foot, depending on the CPA measurements and will be compared.
The main aim of the investigator's study is to investigate the effect of Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercises (PSSE) on spine joint reposition sense and also to investigate the effect of PSSE on vertebral rotation, pain, posture, body image and quality of life in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Twenty-six patients with AIS will randomly allocated to two groups. 'Schroth' exercises will apply to the PSSE group for 8 weeks (16 sessions). The control group wiil teach basic elements. Patients' spinal pain (Visual Analogue Scale), posture parameters (PostureScreen Mobile, Posterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (POTSI) and Anterior Trunk Asymmetry Index (ATSI)), cosmetic perception (Walter Reed Visual Evaluation Scale (WRVAS)), joint reposition sensations (dual-inclinometer), quality of life (Pediatric Quality of Life Scale and SRS-22) will assess at the first session and at the end of 8 weeks.
