Assessing walking speed in persons with a lower-limb amputation: Test-retest reliability of the 10-m walk test.

Background: Preferred walking speed (PWS), maximal walking speed (MWS), and walking speed reserve (WSR)-the difference between MWS and PWS-can be easily obtained from the 10-m walk test (10MWT) to assess walking ability and function. However, their test-retest reliability has not been determined in persons with unilateral lower-limb amputation (LLA).

Objectives: To determine the reliability of the PWS, MWS, and WSR obtained from the 10MWT in persons with LLA.

Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score trajectories and prognostic factors for functional decline: A 3-year follow-up study.

Background: Hip osteoarthritis (OA) can cause pain, restricted locomotor activity and functional impairments but it remains difficult to predict functional decline over time.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to identify functional decline trajectories in people with hip OA using the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) domains and to determine radiological and gait predictors of typical trajectories.

Methods: Consecutive people with hip OA with no indication for total hip replacement at baseline were included.

Evaluation of the sagittal vertical axis with postural and 3D motion analyses in lumbar spinal stenosis.

Background: Sagittal balance, commonly impaired in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) patients, is typically assessed using the sagittal vertical axis (SVA) with EOS imaging. However, to limit X-ray exposure and medical costs, it could be interesting to evaluate the capacity of quantified motion analysis to estimate the 3D modeling of SVA in patients with symptomatic LSS.

Methods: An estimation of the SVA in patients with LSS was performed with 3D motion analysis.

Relationship between the flexion relaxation phenomenon and kinematics of the multi-segmental spine in nonspecific chronic low back pain patients.

The flexion relaxation phenomenon (FRP) is characterized by the reduction of paraspinal muscle activity at maximum trunk flexion. FRP is reported to be altered (persistence of spinal muscle activity) in more than half of nonspecific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) patients. Little is known about how the multi-segmental spine affects FRP.

Two-Year Retrospective Study of Cataract Surgery and Schlemm Canal Hydrus Microstent in Black and Afro-Latino Patients.

Background: The Hydrus Microstent has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of Open-angle Glaucoma. We previously reported 1-year results of the Hydrus Microstent in Black and Afro-Latino patients.

Objective: Here we report two-year results of the Hydrus Microstent in Black and Afro-Latino patients with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma.
