Introduction La lombalgie est une problématique mondiale qui devrait malheureusement augmenter dans les années à venir [1]. La première étape recommandée par les consensus scientifiques (guidelines) pour la prise en charge des lombalgies est le triage diagnostique [2], [3]. Cependant, des études antérieures ont mis en évidence des résultats préoccu...
Introduction
La lombalgie est la principale cause d’incapacité mondiale, entraînant un fardeau sociétal majeur. L’optimisation des parcours de soins est donc cruciale. Les kinésithérapeutes, experts du mouvement, peuvent jouer un rôle central dans la prise en charge primaire. Dans plusieurs pays, l’accès direct à la kinésithérapie (ADK) a montré de...

Objective
To summarise the evidence on the effect of physiotherapy-led versus physician-led care on clinical outcomes, healthcare use, and costs in persons with low back pain.
Data sources
PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, and PEDro were systematically searched with the latest search performed in July 2024. Reference lists of articles were h...
Most plasma used for manufacturing plasma-derived medicinal products (PDMPs) such as albumin, immunoglobulin (Ig), and clotting factors is obtained from source plasma collected via plasmapheresis, the majority of which is contributed by the United States (US). While the demand for PDMPs continues to rise, it remains unclear whether high-frequency p...
Purpose:
To investigate the participation restriction of adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients, and its relation with the impairments in body structure and function, and activity limitation, as this important information regarding the individual's perspective on the social impact of the disease on their life is presently not captured.
Methods:
F...
Background
Research interest on the impact of adult spinal deformity (ASD) on spinopelvic and whole body motion has increased over the past years. Studies focusing on overground walking, showed that patients with ASD indeed present with functional impairments. Functional tasks challenging the spinopelvic complex, such as sit-to-stand-to-sit, might...
Study design:
Cross-sectional study.
Objective:
To develop and validate the Function Assessment scale for Spinal Deformity (FASD).
Summary of background data:
Spinal malalignment impacts daily functioning. Standard evaluation of adult spinal deformity (ASD) is based on static radiography and patient-reported scores, which fail to assess functi...
Image-based subject-specific models and simulations are recently being introduced to complement current state-of-the-art mostly static insights of the adult spinal deformity (ASD) pathology and improve the often poor surgical outcomes. Although the accuracy of a recently developed subject-specific modeling and simulation framework has already been...
Spinal alignment measurement in spinal deformity research has recently shifted from using mainly two-dimensional static radiography toward skin marker-based motion capture approaches, allowing three-dimensional (3D) assessments during dynamic conditions. The validity and accuracy of such skin marker-based methods is highly depending on correct mark...

This study aims to propose a new optimization framework for solving spine kinematics based on skin-mounted markers and estimate subject-specific mechanical properties of the intervertebral joints. The approach enforces dynamic consistency in the entire skeletal system over the entire time-trajectory while personalizing spinal stiffness. 3D reflecti...
Background context
Radiographic evaluation in adult spinal deformity (ASD) offers no information on spinopelvic alignment and compensation during dynamic conditions. Motion analysis offers the potential to bridge the gap between static radiographic and dynamic alignment measurement, increasing our understanding on how ASD impacts function.
Purpose...
Quantitative dynamic evaluation of spino-pelvic motion in subjects with spinal deformity using optical motion analysis is currently lacking. The aim of this study was to develop and validate subject-specific, thoracolumbar spine multi-body skeletal models for evaluating spino-pelvic kinematics in a spinal deformity population.
A new workflow for cr...
Background context:
Two-dimensional static radiography currently forms the golden standard in spinal alignment measurement in adult spinal deformity (ASD). However, these static measurements offer no information on dynamic spinal behavior. To fully understand the functionality and compensation strategies of ASD patients, tools to assess dynamic sp...
Study design:
Prospective cross-sectional case-control study design OBJECTIVE.: This study aims to analyze the relation between balance control as well as Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in patients with Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD), with a novel Gravity Line (GL)-related 3D spinal alignment parameter, the Transverse Gravitational Deviation...
Objective
To test the reliability of the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) and Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS) between sessions and raters in the adult spinal deformity (ASD) population.
Summary of background data
Up to now evaluation in ASD was mainly based on static radiographic parameters. Recently literature showed that dynamic...
The importance of subject-specificity in musculoskeletal modeling and simulations of movement is continuously increasing towards more realistic functional biomechanical characteristics, a fortiori in pathologic cases. The added value of using a subject-specific (SS) musculoskeletal model (MSM) created from CT or MRI, opposed to the use of generic m...
Study design:
Prospective single-center study OBJECTIVE.: Study investigates how dynamic balance performance complements 2D static radiographic measurements and demographics in terms of understanding health-related quality of life in Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) patients.
Summary of background data:
Recent insights suggest that demographic varia...
Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent indications for total knee replacement (TKR). Unfortunately, many patients still have difficulties during daily life activities after TKR. As the underlying causes of these difficulties are still not fully understood, especially with regard to the role of aberrant muscle activation profiles, the purpo...
