This study aimed to determine whether a trunk orthosis with joints providing resistive force (TORF) modifies sagittal malalignment during level walking in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Fifteen patients, 6 months after undergoing surgery for LSS, performed level walking at a self-selected speed while wearing a TORF. Dynamic sagittal alignment, including sagittal vertical axis, lumbar lordosis, and pelvic tilt, and spatiotemporal data as well as lower limb kinematic and kinetic data were recorded using a three-dimensional motion analysis system and six force plates.

Patients with dropped head syndrome exhibit weakness of the cervical paraspinal muscles. However, the relationship between horizontal gaze disorder and physical function remains unclear. This study aimed to examine and clarify this relationship.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with dropped head syndrome (DHS) experience difficulties in walking and gaze due to cervical malalignment.
  • A study compared the walking patterns of 12 DHS patients with healthy elderly individuals, revealing shorter stride lengths and smaller hip joint extension in DHS patients.
  • The results showed that patients with DHS had altered biomechanics, including a backward tilt of the thorax and reduced ankle-joint power, impacting their overall walking ability.

The purpose of this study was to assess the change of dynamic alignment after the short and intensive rehabilitation (SHAiR) program in patients with dropped head syndrome (DHS). Eighteen patients with DHS patients who complained of their inability to maintain horizontal gaze and underwent the SHAiR program. Patients performed level walking at a self-selected speed.
