Active clinical trials for "Spinal Curvatures"

This study will determine whether vertebral body tethering is a safe and feasible method of treatment for pediatric idiopathic scoliosis.

The study will be performed to evaluate motor response and awareness with using sugammadex during wakeup procedure in spine surgery. The investigator's goal is to investigate the effect of sugammadex on the state of consciousness and motor-somatosensorial evoked potentials.

Background: In modern society, people are spending more time sitting due to the increased use of IT devices. Prolonged sitting with incorrect posture can lead to spinal deformities and an increase in spinal diseases. Common deformities include turtle neck posture, flat back, straight neck, and bent back. Misalignment of the spine is considered an important factor in causing spinal diseases, such as pain, arthritis, and degeneration. To address these issues, researchers have developed pillows and chairs that are ergonomically designed for everyday use and have been found to be effective. Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether portable equipment can help individuals recognize and maintain correct sitting posture on their own. Design: This study has a cross-sectional study design. Each condition is divided into three different sitting conditions. By using post-evaluation data, the intention is to compare the effects. (Condition A: sitting on a standard chair wearing an immediately feedback device, Condition B: sitting on a gym-ball, Condition C: sitting on standard chair) Subject : Twenty-eight subjects were recruited as healthy students attending S University located in Nowon-gu, Seoul. Result: The study found that maintaining a sitting posture immediately resulted in a statistically significant lower angle over time at the Cervicothoracic angle compared to other interventions. Similarly, a sitting posture immediately maintained a lower angle over time at the Thoracic angle compared to other sitting postures . However, the lumbar angle showed a significant increase over time.

Readmissions increasingly serve as a metric of hospital performance, inviting quality improvement initiatives in both medicine and surgery. Recently, a readmission reduction program in the United States was associated with significantly shorter length of stay, earlier discharge, and reduced 30-day readmission after elective neurosurgery. These results underscore the importance of patient education and surveillance after hospital discharge, and it would be beneficial to test whether the same approach yields beneficial results in a different health system, the NHS. In this study, the investigators will replicate the Transitional Care Program (TCP) published by Robertson et al.(Journal of Neurosurgery 2017) with the goal of decreasing length of stay, improving discharge efficiency, and reducing readmissions in neurosurgical patients by optimizing patient education and post-discharge surveillance.

A safety and feasibility study of free-run and stimulated corporal electromyography (EMG) to assess autonomic neural function during spinal and/or pelvic surgery in women and men.

Surgical intervention may provide pain relief and improvement in function but one area of significant clinical interest is the restoration/improvement in gait and functional balance. Based on the investigators knowledge, there is limited literature on biomechanics and neuromuscular control of the lower extremities and spine as assessed by objective gait analysis and balance strategies in adult degenerative scoliosis patients, pre and post surgical intervention. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of spinal deformity on the biomechanics and neuromuscular control of the lower and upper extremities, and also investigate the impact of surgery on these functions as evaluated by gait and balance analyses using dynamic EMG, video motion capture and force plate analysis and also to compare these patients with healthy controls to better evaluate the extent of limitations before and after surgery.

The aim of this observational study was to the alterations in spinal alignment in individuals who have undergone RC surgery and revealed the differences compared to healthy individuals.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of rıgıd brace treatment on spinopelvic parameters and GAP score in patients with adolescent hyperkyphosis. This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Thirty-two patients who were diagnosed with structural hyperkyphosis and treated with CAD-CAM design rigid brace were included in the study in Formed Healthcare Scoliosis Treatment and Brace Center between December 2015-2020.

This study aimed to present the influence of unilateral and bilateral flat foot on coronal spinopelvic alignment in asymptomatic young healthy males. It will be carried out by examining the medical reports of individuals who apply to the National Health Board to work in positions requiring physical fitness between January 2018 and January 2019. Plain radiographies of the feet, pelvis, and spine will be analyzed. Calcaneal pitch angle (CPA) for flat foot, pelvic obliquity (PO), and Cobb angle (CA) for spinal asymmetry will be measured. After all analyzes were completed, participants will be divided into 2 groups as unilateral (UniFF) or bilateral (BiFF) flat foot, depending on the CPA measurements and will be compared.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the sagittal thoracic spinal curvature and mobility in subjects with and without chronic neck pain, cut-off points and pain relationship
