Muscle shortening in structural versus non-structural spine deformities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Restriction of muscle flexibility is observed in lower limbs of both healthy adolescents and those diagnosed with spine deformity. Children sedentary lifestyle is suspected to be the reason. The resulting inhibition of antagonistic muscle group and disturbance of synergistic/stabilizing groups can potentially involve global muscular balance. The aim of the study was to assess lower limb muscle shortening in children with spine disorders

Lower limb muscle shortening in structural versus non-structural spinal deformity
Background Muscle shortening within the lower limbs can be observed in adolescents with either structural or non-structural spinal deformities. Whether or not it is related to the spinal deformity remains unclear. The aim of the study was to evaluate the lower limb muscle shortening in a group of adolescents with structural spinal deformity (idiopathic scoliosis, Scheuermann's juvenile kyphosis...
متن کاملStructural vibration testing of the lumbar spine: development of a diagnostic tool for assessment of segmental stiffness
Structural vibration testing is a measurement technique that is used in engineering to examine the condition of structures, such as bridges and airplanes. The basic idea behind structural vibration testing is that damage will alter the stiffness, mass or energy dissipation properties of a system, which in turn will change the dynamic response of the system when it is excited with a forcing func...
متن کاملNon-structural misalignments of body posture in the sagittal plane
Background The physiological sagittal spinal curvature represents a typical feature of good body posture in the sagittal plane. The cervical and the lumbar spine are curved anteriorly (lordosis), while the thoracic segment is curved posteriorly (kyphosis). The pelvis is inclined anteriorly, and the lower limbs' joints remain in a neutral position. However, there are many deviations from the opt...
متن کاملPostural deformities in Parkinson's disease.
Postural deformities are frequent and disabling complications of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism. These deformities include camptocormia, antecollis, Pisa syndrome, and scoliosis. Recognition of specific postural syndromes might have differential diagnostic value in patients presenting with parkinsonism. The evidence to date suggests that postural deformities have a multifact...
متن کاملFocus On Classification of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Scoliosis Research Society defined scoliosis deformity as a lateral curvature of the spine on a radiograph of the spine taken in standing position.1 The degree of the curve is measured as the angle between the most inclined vertebral end-plates at each end of the curve (the Cobb angle). There are many causes of scoliosis deformity. It can be structural due to spinal pathologies or non-structura...
