Measurement of Vertebral Compression and Kyphosis in the Thoracolumbar and Lumbar Fractures
"연구목적: 흉요추 및 요추 골절에서 측정 방법에 따른 압박률 및 후만각의 차이를 비교하고 골절의 안정성과의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2002년 7월부터 2008년 8월까지 흉요추부 또는 요추의 급성 척추 골절로 진단된 환자들의 단순 방사선 사진과 전산화 단층촬영, 자기공명영상과 의무기록을 분석하였다. PACS를 이용하여 측면 단순 방사선 사진과 전산화 단층촬영, 자기공명영상에서 골절 추체의 전방 높이와 후방 높이, 인접 상, 하 척추체의 전방 높이, Cobb‘s 각도와 국소 후만각을 측정하였고, 측정값을 …

Effects of a 10-week exercise intervention on thoracic kyphosis, pulmonary function, endurance, back extensor strength, and quality of life in women with osteoporosis
… the United States have osteoporosis. Pronounced kyphosis of the thoracic spine is one of the most common clinical manifestations of spinal osteoporosis, with one quarter of all women over the age of 60 developing vertebral deformities as a consequence of spinal osteoporosis. Kyphotic posture can …

Factors Affecting Postural Reduction in Posterior Surgery for Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture
… significance and relevant factors of postural kyphosis reduction during posterior surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture. Summary of Background Data: Optimal reduction of kyphosis is a goal in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture. Several factors are known to limit …

Nutukusių asmenų laikysenos ir eisenos ypatumai /
… lordosis, lumbar lordosis and sacroiliac kyphosis. In the study group, individuals also had increased thoracic kyphosis. All subjects in the control group had no risk of falls. Although the results were similar in the obese subjects, one subject stood out and had a very high risk of …

Factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance in elite athletes
… coronal plane, Pectoralis Minor length, Thoracic kyphosis, Glenohumeral rotation and load) with the AHD was done to confirm or refute some of these associations. To accomplish the research: a) reliability of tools and stability of the measure was established; b) data was collected in elite …

Innovations in adolescent scoliosis treatment
… technique should avoid proximal junctional kyphosis and restore a normal thoracic kyphosis (TK), which is related to sagittal parameters as pelvic tilt (PT), lumbar lordosis (LL) and pelvic incidence (PI). The equation TK =2 (PT+LL-PI) was previously validated for adolescents. The use of …

The Role of Breast Size During Prolonged Standing: An Evaluation of Biomechanical, Pain Development, and Psychosocial Factors
… larger breasts have been found to have greater kyphosis and lordosis angles than women with smaller breasts. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether breast size is related to muscle activation, posture and pain development over a 2-hour prolonged standing exposure and psychosocial …

Characterization Of The Skeletal Phenotype In Idua-W392X Knock-In Mice: Bone Metabolism Biomarkers
… atlantoaxial instability, thoracolumbar kyphosis, genu valgum, acetabular dysplasia, and short stature. Skeletal biomarkers of bone formation and bone resorption were compared in wild-type, heterozygous, and IDUAW392X mice. To investigate osteoblast activity, levels of the bone formation …

Molecular Enhancement of Alpha 7 Integrin to Ameliorate Muscular Dystrophy
… fibrosis and contractures, improved mobility and kyphosis, decreased inflammatory cell content and cardiomyopathy and increased myofiber integrity. HTCB injected mice have increased myofiber integrity and show elevated alpha7 integrin expression in muscle. Together, these results represent …

Η φυσιολογική ανάπτυξη της θωρακικής και οσφυϊκής μοίρας της σπονδυλικής στήλης
… physiologic curvatures and angles of the spine. Kyphosis and lordosis were measured using Cobb's method and again using a new index which takes into consideration a more accurate geometry of the curves. Separate tables have been completed for every individual anthropometric parameter evaluated by …

The Exploration of Sagittal Spine Curvature: Validating a surface topography method & relating curvature to physical function
… apparent, but weak, correlation between thoracic kyphosis and aspects of balance, walking capacity and physical performance in people with osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). Since this analysis took into account only the thoracic spine region, there was a need to explore the relationship …

Kinematic and Kinetic Effects of Alterations in Lumbar Lordosis in People with Tight Hamstrings
… spinal measures of lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, and sagittal vertical axis, which are calculated using skin markers. Lateral x-rays taken by the EOS bi-planar scanner were used to measure both clinical and marker measures. Sagittal spinal measures were also output by the built-in …

Investigation of spine loading to understand vertebral fractures
… Specifically, we found that increasing thoracic kyphosis and reducing lumbar lordosis, changes that commonly occur with age, were both associated with higher spinal loads. Lastly, we used our musculoskeletal model to describe how vertebral loading and the factor-of-risk (load-to-strength ratio) …

Statistical Shape Analysis for the Human Back
… back surface due to spinal deformity (scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis) for back deformity patients. A surface topography system, ISIS2 (Integrated Shape Imaging System 2), is available to measure the three-dimensional back surface. The system presents clinical parameters, which are based on …

Stability of long multiple-rod constructs and dual-rod constructs in the thoracic spine: a biomechanical cadaveric study
Spinal fusion to correct spinal deformity is typically performed with a 2-rod construct spanning the targeted area of fusion. More evidence is starting to emerge around the utility of multiple-rod constructs (typically 3 or more rods) to increase the stiffness and stability of a spinal fusion …

Včasná léčba minimalizuje následky: Osvětová kampaň pro Scheuermannovu kyfózu a idiopatickou skoliózu v České a Slovenské republice
Scheuermannova kyfóza je závažná deformita páteře na výrazném genetickém podkladě. V případě pozdní diagnostiky a terapie u pediatrických pacientů může způsobit urychlenou degeneraci páteře, která nezřídka vede k celoživotním následkům v podobě chronické bolesti (Kocanda, 2019). U většiny pacientů …
