Balance during walking on an inclined instrumented pathway following incomplete spinal cord injury.

Objectives: To study the postural adaptations of subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) and non-injured subjects during overground walking on level and inclined surfaces.

Methods: Six subjects with iSCI and seven non-injured subjects walked on an inclined surface (slope: 15%) and a level surface at their natural gait speed and at a slow gait speed (non-injured subjects only). Maximal stabilizing and minimal destabilizing forces were calculated to quantify dynamic balance during walking.

Anastomotic salvage after rectal cancer resection using the Turnbull-Cutait delayed anastomosis.

Background: Turnbull-Cutait abdominoperineal pull-through followed by delayed coloanal anastomosis (DCA) was first described in 1961. Studies have described its use for challenging colorectal conditions. We reviewed our experience with Turnbull-Cutait DCA as a salvage procedure for complex failure of colorectal anastomosis.

Postural and dynamic balance while walking in adults with incomplete spinal cord injury.

The purpose of this study was to characterize balance in individuals with and without an incomplete spinal cord injury (ISCI) during the single support phase of gait. Thirty-four individuals (17 with a ISCI, 17 able-bodied) walked at their self-selected walking speed. Among those, eighteen individuals (9 with ISCI, 9 able-bodied) with a similar walking speed were also analyzed.
