Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty has been associated with the onset of low back pain, which can significantly impact patients' quality of life. However, a detailed evaluation of the time until the onset of long-term low back pain following total hip arthroplasty remains largely unknown. This study aimed to explore the relationship between total hip arthroplasty and the development of long-term lower back pain.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is a common condition with significant effects on health systems, shifting the focus from mechanical causes to genetics, psychosocial factors, lifestyle, and quality of life in its treatment.
  • A study analyzed various lifestyle interventions to see how they affect pain intensity and functional disability in people with CNSLBP, reviewing data from 20 studies, including 16 high-quality clinical trials.
  • The findings suggest that multimodal interventions combining cognitive therapy, functional exercises, and aerobic activities are effective in reducing pain and improving functionality, but the long-term sustainability of these improvements is still uncertain.

Background: Within the exploration of human gait, key focal points include the examination of functional rockers and the influential role of tendon behavior in the intricate stretch-shortening cycle. To date, the possible relationship between these two fundamental factors in the analysis of human gait has not been studied. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the relationship between the morphology of the patellar and Achilles tendons and plantar fascia with respect to the duration of the rockers.

Background: The gait cycle is generally divided into stance phase and swing phase. The stance phase can also be divided into three functional rockers, each with a distinct fulcrum. It has been shown that walking speed (WS) influences both stance and swing phase but its influence on the functional foot rockers duration is unknown.

The gait cycle can be divided into four functional rocker units. Although the widespread use of the OptoGait (OG) system and the Freemed (FM) platform, their accuracy has not been tested. An observational study was completed with eighteen healthy volunteers to determine the accuracy of OG and FM for overground walking gait analysis.
