The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between measurements of lumbar lordosis, pelvic tilt, and abdominal muscle performance during normal standing. In addition, the reliability of the measurements used in this study was examined. Measurements of lumbar lordosis, pelvic tilt, and abdominal muscle performance were taken of 31 healthy adults aged 20 to 33 years. Each measurem...

Introduction Hyperkyphosis has long been reported to be associated with many health disorders, both psychological and patho-mechanical. Very few options for the management of this condition are available in medicine, while conservative treatment like chiropractic and physiotherapy can only offer limited structural rehabilitation. Although originally designed for the treatment of AIS, The SpineC...

Abstract Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia Algerian type (MIM no.: 184253) is an uncommon autosomal dominant skeletal caused by heterozygous mutations in the COL2A1 gene 120140). In this case based review, we reported a 5-year-old boy with short stature, severe dorsolumbar scoliosis, lumbar hyperlordosis, trunk, and genu valgum. Radiological examination showed platyspondyly, irregular metaphyseal r...

OBJECTIVE During the transitional phase (ambulatory to non-ambulatory), synergies characterize the evolution of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). This study was performed to describe and quantify compensatory movements while sitting down on/rising from the floor and climbing up/down steps. METHOD Eighty videos (5 children × 4 assessments × 4 tasks) were recorded quarterly in the year prior t...

The cumulative incidence of idiopathic toe walking is up to 15%, some children who toe walk reach their climax around the age of 2 (2). The spontaneous remission is quite high, but toe walking often persists beyond pre-school age. The major drawback of a persisting toe walking gait pattern is in the possibly resulting secondary diseases and complications of the skeletal apparatus. Through a hyp...
