Effects of balance training combined with Schroth therapy on adolescents with mild idiopathic scoliosis: A six-week randomized controlled trial J. Back Musculoskelet. Rehabilit. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-06 Xiangyu Shen, Zhen Yang, Peng Zhang, Yingye Xu, Jielong Wang
BACKGROUND: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has a great negative impact on the physical and mental health of patients; thus, a range of effective, timely interventions are urgently needed. Currently, there is a lack of evidence to illustrate the effect of balance training in patients with AIS, and the traditional AIS therapy often ignores the recovery in balance function of patients with AIS

Effects of vibration-based biofeedback on multifidus muscle activity and pelvic tilt angle in subjects with hip flexion limitation J. Back Musculoskelet. Rehabilit. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-11 In-Cheol Jeon, Tae-Jin Jang
BACKGROUND: Sedentary work may lead to low back pain. In particular, a slumped sitting position may exacerbate low back pain because of tissue damage caused by excessive lumbar flexion and posterior pelvic tilting. Subjects with low back pain may have excessive changes in the lumbopelvic posture and back muscle activity in the sitting position. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the

Global perceived improvement and health-related quality of life after physical therapy in Lebanese patients with chronic non-specific low back pain J. Back Musculoskelet. Rehabilit. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-09 Nour El Hoda Saleh, Yara Hamdan, Abdullah Shabaanieh, Nourhan Housseiny, Ahmad Ramadan, Aly Haj Diab, Zahra Sadek
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of physical therapy (PT) in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is mainly evaluated through pain, disability, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However, recent studies have recommended the consideration of improvement from patients’ perspectives. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the global perception of

The effectiveness of postoperative exercise based on gait analysis compared with conventional exercise in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis: A randomized clinical trial J. Back Musculoskelet. Rehabilit. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-09 Yuxian Zhong, Yu Ding, Bensheng Fu, Guanghao Ma, Hongpeng Cui, Minyue Li, Yang Yu, Ling Guan
BACKGROUND: Despite being used as a program of postoperative rehabilitation, few randomized controlled trials have compared the effectiveness of postoperative exercise based on gait analysis in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of postoperativeexercise based on gait analysis in patients with LSS and to compare it with the effectiveness of conventional

BACKGROUND: Ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury may result in rhabdomyolysis and compartment syndrome when blood supply returns after thrombectomy for patients with acute limb ischemia. OBJECTIVE: We highlight the value of early diagnosis and treatment in post-thrombectomy patients with IR injuries intheir lower legs. CASE DESCRIPTION: Two patients received thrombectomy due to left superficial femoral
