effect of dynamic thoracolumbar orthosis on scheuermann's kyphosis angle

The effect of eight-weeks corrective games on kyphosis angle and postural control in mentally retarded children having kyphosis

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of eight weeks corrective games on kyphosis angle and postural control in kyphotic mentally retarded children. Method: Thirty mentally retarded girls children with increase normal thoracic kyphosis (kyphosis angle≥40) were selected and randomly divided in two groups training group (N=15 with mean average 12/06±2/8 years old, Height 145±1/33c...

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...

Radiological Analysis of Thoracolumbar Junctional Degenerative Kyphosis in Patients with Lumbar Degenerative Kyphosis

BACKGROUND Thoracolumbar junction (TLJ) is the transitional area between the lower thoracic spine and the upper lumbar spine. Vertebral compression fractures and proximal junctional kyphosis following spine surgery often occur in this area. Therefore, the study of development and mechanisms of thoracolumbar junctional degeneration is important for planning surgical management. This study aimed ...

The Effects of a Foot-Toe Orthosis on Dynamic Balance and Hallux Valgus Angle

Kyphotic Angles of Instrumented Thoracolumbar Junction: Impact of Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis

Introduction: Bracing is an accepted part of operative treatment, however; the effectiveness of bracing is controversial. We sought evidences for the effect of Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis (TLSO) on spine proximal to the fusion site in patients treated for unstable thoracolumbar junction (TLJ) burst fractures. Materials and Methods: Fifty adult patients with unstable TLJ burst fractures are pros...

Infantile developmental thoracolumbar kyphosis with segmental subluxation of the spine.

We report five children who presented at the mean age of 1.5 years (1.1 to 1.9) with a progressive thoracolumbar kyphosis associated with segmental instability and subluxation of the spine at the level above an anteriorly-wedged hypoplastic vertebra at L1 or L2. The spinal deformity appeared to be developmental and not congenital in origin. The anterior wedging of the vertebra may have been sec...
