Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of lumbar stiffness disability index.
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on validating and testing the reliability of the Turkish version of the Lumbar Stiffness Disability Index (Tr-LSDI) for patients post-lumbar fusion surgery, as the original version has not been confirmed in Türkiye.
- - A total of 66 patients participated, with various analyses confirming that the Tr-LSDI has high content validity, good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha of 0.934), and excellent test-retest reliability (ICC of 0.980).
- - Results showed a strong correlation between Tr-LSDI scores and both the number of fusion levels and the Oswestry Disability Index, affirming its effectiveness as a tool for assessing lumbar stiffness in clinical settings. *
Objective: In 2022, arterioectatic spinal angiopathy (AESA) of childhood was reported as a fatal, progressive, multi-segment myelopathy associated with a unique form of non-inflammatory spinal angiopathy involving diffuse dilatation of the anterior spinal artery and cord congestion in children. In this study, we present four more cases of AESA, using early and long-term conventional imaging and flat detector computed tomography angiography (FDCTA) imaging to assess the probability of disease regression and prevent unnecessary interventions.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiological findings of four patients with AESA seen in two neuroradiology departments between 2014 and 2023.
Background: and Purpose: In the global landscape, quality assurance is paramount for educational institutions to adapt and thrive. The accreditation process involves evaluating an institution's quality according to standards established by experts and officially documenting its level of quality. This study aimed to assess the impact of a single educational session on physiotherapy and rehabilitation students' awareness and understanding of accreditation processes, recognizing their vital role in quality assurance.

July 2024
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated how different fluoroscopic settings affect the accuracy of finding Schottle's point during medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, using 44 dry femurs.
- - Results showed that the lateral-to-medial (LM) view significantly reduced the distance from the anatomical MPFL footprint to Schottle's point compared to the medial-to-lateral (ML) view, resulting in a higher percentage of acceptable tunnel locations.
- - The findings suggest that using the LM fluoroscopic view can enhance the accuracy of femoral tunnel placement, leading to better surgical outcomes by more accurately replicating the native MPFL.
