BACKGROUND The effectiveness of orthotic treatment continues to be controversial in international medical literature due to differences in the reported results and conclusions of various studies. Heterogeneity of the samples has been suggested as a reason for conflicting results. Besides the obvious theoretical differences between the brace concepts, the variability in the technical factors can...

Spinal deformity has classically and historically been studied by those in the discipline of orthopedic surgery. This may be attributable to the orthopedic interventionalists' experience with osseous fixation for long-bone and other skeletal fractures. Neurosurgeons have maintained a long-standing interest in complex cervical spinal disorders, and their interest in the larger field of complex s...

In recent years, biomechanics researchers have increasingly used dynamic magnetic resonance imaging techniques, such as cine phase contrast (cine PC), to study muscle and bone motion in vivo. Magnetic resonance imaging provides a non-invasive tool to visualize the anatomy and measure musculoskeletal tissue velocities during joint motion. Current application of cine PC magnetic resonance imaging...
