Reducing the Brace Correction Stress on the Secondary Lumbar Curve Results in Excellent Muscle, Bone, and Disc Mechanical Performance: A Musculoskeletal Finite Element Simulation of AIS Patient With Rigo A3.

Objectives: The biomechanical mechanism of brace intervention on bone, muscle, and disc should be comprehensively considered for AIS patients. We aimed to developmentally construct a musculoskeletal finite element model of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis to simulate the coupling of corrective forces and analyze the mechanical properties of bone, muscle, and disc. Investigateing, more effective clinical interventions to break the vicious cycle of patients during growth.

Biomechanics of the lower limb in patients with mild knee osteoarthritis during the sit-to-stand task.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent and debilitating condition that markedly affects the sit-to-stand (STS) activity of patients, a prerequisite for daily activities. Biomechanical recognition of movements in patients with mild KOA is currently attracting attention. However, limited studies have been conducted solely on the observed differences in sagittal plane movement and muscle activation.

[Different needling depth for benign prostatic hyperplasia: a randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of different needling depth for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Methods: A total of 70 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were randomized into an elongated needle group (35 cases, 1 case dropped off) and a filiform needle group (35 cases, 2 cases dropped off). Basic treatment combined with acupuncture were adopted in both groups, acupuncture was applied at Guanyuan (CV 4), Zhongji (CV 3), Shuidao (ST 28), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Taixi (KI 3), Zhigou (TE 6).
