Filter by: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 clinical trial is to test in the effects of pain pressure threshold (PPT) looking out to 30 minutes in the lumbar spine. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Is there a difference between PPT from baseline, immediately after, or 30 minutes after compared to sham ultrasound control group? Participants will be exposed to sham ultrasound or sidelying lumbar manipulation with between groups and within group comparisons of PPT at the posterior superior iliac spine up to 30 minutes following the intervention.
The purpose of this study, entitled "Delivering Transcutaneous Auricular Neurostimulation as an Adjunct Non-Opioid Pain Management Therapy for Patients Undergoing Lumbar Fusion Surgery", is to demonstrate whether transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tAN) can non-invasively reduce the perception of pain in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery. tAN is placed on and around the ear to non-invasively stimulate branches of the vagus and trigeminal nerves and modulate specific brain regions associated with pain.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Leg Lateral Reach Test to measure thoraco-lumbo-pelvic segment mobility in adolescent tennis players. The fact that the test is valid and reliable for tennis players will contribute to monitoring trunk rotation flexibility in athletes, comparing them bilaterally, and revealing the exercise training necessary to improve performance.
Background: Throughout the history of spinal deformity there have been continuous advances in the surgical treatment. Although many techniques have been successfully developed despite the anatomy complex, screw placement still remains difficult with a significant risk of misplaced implants. The O-ARM guided Navigation is a scanner that allows imaging of screws intraoperatively and could be a tool to facilitate screw revision and reduce the occurrence of misplaced implants. Methods: This is a prospective and randomized clinical study that will be carried out at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Piaui, which provides exclusive assistance to patients of the Unified Health System (UHS), in northeastern Brazil.
Our study aims at investigating short and long-term outcomes following surgery for subaxial spine injuries in the elderly (octogenarian) population.
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.
Primary aim: Characterise case-mix, processes of care and variations in nonoperative and operative management strategies, including emergency, ward, surgical and ICU care, in patients presenting with traumatic spinal injury (TSI) between centres across low and high Human Development Index (HDI) countries. Primary outcome measure: The primary outcome measure will be Frankel Grade at 6 weeks post-admission (or discharge, whichever comes first). Primary comparison: Between country groups defined by human development index Centre eligibility: Any unit assessing patients with TSI worldwide will be eligible to participate Patient eligibility: All adult patients presenting with radiologically confirmed traumatic spinal injury. Team: Each participating unit will form a study team of up to four investigators including a study lead, local investigator 1/2 and an independent data validator. Time period: Local study teams may select any 30-day period from July 12th 2021 to start their study. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria between 00:01 on day 0 and 23:59 on day 30 of the selected study period will be included. Validation: There will be a two-phase data validation process. Phase 1 will be prospective, validating case ascertainment, and phase 2 will be retrospective, validating operative data.
This is a prospective quality improvement study to assess the effect of using an audit-and-feedback process for emergency providers on utilization of computed tomography of the cervical spine. The objective of this study is to determine whether providing repeated individualized feedback on CT C-spine utilization to emergency providers alters their practice pattern and reduces overutilization. The investigators hypothesize that emergency providers who receive individualized feedback regarding their CT C-spine utilization on a regular basis will alter their practice pattern to reduce overutilization of this imaging study.
Iatrogenic spinal cord injury is the most feared complication of complex spine surgery. The incidence of neurological complications for spinal deformity surgery has been estimated by the Scoliosis Research Society as 1%, except when a combined approach is used, where the rate increases to 1.87% [1]. Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) techniques are usually implemented during spine surgery to avoid nefarious abuse of the nervous system, which can cause postoperative problem [2]. In 1992 a Scoliosis Research Society study concluded that the use of intraoperative spinal cord neurophysiological monitoring during operative procedures including instrumentation should be considered ''a viable alternative as well as an adjunct to the use of the wake-up test during spinal surgery'' [5]. The benefit of using neuromonitoring has been validated by numerous studies involving scoliosis correction, revision surgeries and vertebral osteotomies.
