BACKGROUND: The measurement of sagittal parameters is an important part preoperative planning and also used to evaluate the results surgical treatment. It known that in spondylolisthesis (especially at high degrees) spine differ from those healthy people. difference spinal-pelvic children adults without orthopedic pathology has been proven. One tasks treatment restoration balance or its maximum...

BACKGROUND Spinal sagittal imbalance is a widely acknowledged problem, but there is insufficient knowledge regarding its occurrence. In some patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH), their symptom is similar to spinal sagittal imbalance. The aim of this study is to illustrate the spinopelvic sagittal characteristics and identity the role of spinal musculature in the mechanism of sagittal imba...

BACKGROUND Little evidence exists regarding how prosthesis design characteristics affect performance in tasks that challenge mediolateral balance such as turning. This study assesses the influence of prosthetic foot stiffness on amputee walking mechanics and balance control during a continuous turning task. METHODS Three-dimensional kinematic and kinetic data were collected from eight unilate...

BACKGROUND Comparatively little is known about the relation between the sagittal vertical axis and clinical outcome in cases of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis. The objective of this study was to determine whether lumbar sagittal balance affects clinical outcomes after posterior interbody fusion. This series suggests that consideration of sagittal balance during posterior interbody fusion...
