Spine-related disorders often impair quality of life (QOL) and the ability to perform activities
of daily living and are a problem in rapidly aging societies. Motor deficits, poor balance, and …

Proper posture provides the best balance and body stability at minimal muscular effort. It is
constantly controlled by the central nervous system, which integrates the stimuli from the …

Study Design. Retrospective cohort study. Objective. Understand the benefit of addressing
malalignment in revision surgery for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK). Summary of …

Purpose The compensatory mechanisms recruited by un-instrumented patients against
sagittal imbalance are well documented. However, there is a lack of information regarding …

Study design A prospective cohort study Objective To determine a classification system for
cone of economy (CoE) measurements that defines clinically significant changes in altered …

Background Changes in balance are common in individuals with spinal disorders and may
cause falls. Balance efficiency, is the ability of a person to maintain their center of gravity …

Although lumbar belts can be used for the treatment and prevention of low back pain, the
role of the lumbar belt remains unclear without clear guidelines. This study aimed to …

aim is to develop a new method for estimating cone of economy (CoE) using a force plate …

Background Whole body standing alignment (WBSA) in terms of biomechanics can be
evaluated accurately only by referring the gravity line (GL) which lies on the gravity center …

Background: We aimed to propose the apical vertebras distribution modifier to supplement
the coronal balance (CB) classification for adult idiopathic scoliosis (AdIS). An algorithm to …
