Long-term impact of obesity on patient-reported outcomes and patient satisfaction after lumbar spine surgery: an observational study.

Sep 28, 2020

Obese body habitus is a challenging issue to address in lumbar spine surgery. There is a lack of consensus on the long-term influence of BMI on patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction. This study a...

Quantifying trunk neuromuscular control using seated balancing and stability threshold.

Sep 24, 2020

Performance during seated balancing is often used to assess trunk neuromuscular control, including evaluating impairments in back pain populations. Balancing in less challenging environments allows fo...

Time-frequency analysis of muscle activation patterns in people with chronic ankle instability during Landing and cutting tasks.

Sep 21, 2020

Lower-Extremity Motor Synergies in Individuals With and Without Chronic Ankle Instability.

Sep 17, 2020

Current theoretical models suggest that ankle sprain copers exhibit movement adaptations contributing to the avoidance of chronic ankle instability. However, few studies have examined adaptations at t...

Differences in Activity of the Brain Networks During Voluntary Motor Tasks Engaging the Local and Global Muscular Systems of the Lower Trunk.

Sep 17, 2020

Low back pain constitutes a multidimensional problem of largely unknown origin. One of the recent theories explaining its frequent occurrence includes speculative statements on patterns of central ner...

Quantitative assessment of deep-seated CO leakage around CO-rich springs with low soil CO efflux using end-member mixing analysis and carbon isotopes.

Sep 14, 2020

This study examined a mountainous area with two hydrochemically distinct CO-rich springs to understand the origin, flow, and leakage of CO, which may provide implications for precise monitoring of CO ...

Abdominal muscle activity and pelvic motion according to active straight leg raising test results in adults with and without chronic low back pain.

Sep 14, 2020

Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR) is a clinical test that challenges lumbopelvic stability and have been used in low back pain patients. There are reports of positive tests in asymptomatic individuals,...
