Active clinical trials for "Kyphosis"

This study evaluates the difference in postoperative bleeding between two study groups, FDA cleared MONTAGE Settable Resorbable Hemostatic Bone Putty and standard of care (no bone hemostat) during pedicle subtraction osteotomy procedures.

Objectives: Musculoskeletal problems have been a concern in dentists for years. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between posture and musculoskeletal pain in dentists.

The goal of this observational study is to examine the safety and efficacy of posterior sugary only in addressing post traumatic kyphosis. The main question[s]it aims to answer are: Is it a safe procedure? Is it a sufficient approach to address deformity? Participants will be managed by posterior only surgery to address their deformity and will be assessed for the radiological and functional outcomes.

In a normal spine, the sagittal plane has four curvatures that balance each other. The cervical and lumbar spine is lordotic, the thoracic spine and sacral region are kyphotic. In the sagittal plane, there is an average of 40 kyphosis angles between the T1 vertebrae upper end plate and the T12 vertebra lower end plate. Thoracic kyphosis is defined as an increase in the normal thoracic curvature (above 40) of the spine. Postural kyphosis usually occurs when individuals with weak muscle strength exert excessive external loads on their vertebrae. In rapidly growing young people, the abnormal flexion of the spine prevents the development of internal organs and excess thoracic kyphosis causes changes in respiratory functions, as well as postural disorders negatively affect the standing balance. In addition, the posture and appearance of young people with postural kyphosis are affected, which can affect their physical and psychological health.The incidence of hyper-kyphosis abnormality was reported to be 15.3% in 11 year-old children, 38% in 20 to 50 years old adults and 35% in 20 to 64 years old adults. This abnormality is managed by various methods including manual therapy, postural retraining, taping, orthoses and corrective exercises. When a literature review was conducted, it was observed that no balance evaluation was performed in individuals between 18 and 25 years of age who had postural kyphosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Schroth-based functional exercise and postural exercise on balance, respiratory functions and thoracic angle, who has with postural kyphosis and 18-25 years of age.

It has been reported that the head protrudes forward relative to the body from the sagittal plane associated with the anterior shifting of the line of gravity (LOG) relative to the base of support (BOS). On the other hand, the center of gravity (COG) has changed with the forward head posture (FHP) and is related to mechanical and musculoskeletal modifications due to postural control, which affects the whole body balance. Griegel-Morris et al. Reported that, after evaluating eighty-eight healthy participants, 66% had a forward head posture (FHP). In addition, he stated that the inverted head posture in the forward head posture will not only cause neck problems, but also can extend to the shoulder joint and thoracic spine. As a result, it causes a general imbalance in the musculoskeletal system. Jung-Ho Kang and his colleagues examined the effect of daily sitting times of computer users on dynamic and static balance and stated that balance ability decreased in heavy computer users. Another study on forward head posture (IBP) revealed that it limits ankle joint movement, especially in ankle plantarflexion.

The objective of this study is to evaluate clinical effectiveness and the effect on quality of life of an inelastic thoracolumbarasacral orthosis in male and female hyperkyphotic patients with moderate to severe back pain disability and to demonstrate the safety of the intervention through detailed reporting and analysis of adverse events.

The purpose of this study was to block the posterior branch of lumbar spinal nerve during PKP operation and compare it with the patients without spinal nerve block, so as to verify the effect of posterior branch block of spinal nerve in relieving short-term and long-term residual low back pain after operation.

This study was planned to investigate the effect of holistic approach corrective exercise program on the degree of kyphosis, balance and quality of life in kyphotic adolescents. A holistic approach corrective exercise program including corrective exercises and postural perception training was applied to one group. Thoracic region focused exercise program was applied to the other group. The programs of the exercise groups were applied three days a week, for 12 weeks. The kyphosis angle of all individuals participating in the study was evaluated using the flexible ruler, the Romberg index measured with balance pedobarography, and the quality of life using the Scoliosis Research Society-22 Questionnaire (SRS-22). In our study, a decrease in the degree of kyphosis was detected in the holistic approach corrective exercise and thoracic region-focused exercise group after 12 weeks of exercise training (p<0.001), while no change was observed in the control group (p>0.05). Balance improved after exercise training in the holistic corrective exercise group (p=0.006). The quality of life increased in the holistic approach corrective exercise and thoracic region focused exercise groups after the training (p<0.001). The use of postural perception training together with corrective exercise programs in applications for thoracic kyphosis reveals a holistic approach and may increase the effect of the intervention.

This study is design in a clinical setting for testing whether physical therapy treatment that includes postural awareness exercises for strength flexibility and endurance is improving low back pain and postural behavior. The study will consist of two groups, basic treatment that will get one on one treatment once a month for 3 months and the intervention group, will get an additional group therapy once a week.

The original intent was to use a manual therapy and therapeutic exercise intervention with older patients with pneumonia post-hospitalization. It was hypothesized that the physical therapy intervention would have a positive impact on posture, physical function, pulmonary function, gait, quality of life, and ultimately readmission. This patient population was found to be not feasible to recruit and the study target population was expanded to include older community dwelling adults with pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or hyperkyphosis.
