Background/objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in trunk height and variations in spino-pelvic parameters during trunk self-elongation. Two populations were studied: non-athletes and gymnasts, who differ in their engagement with core-strengthening exercises.
Methods: EOS biplanar radiographs were taken on 14 non-athletes and 24 gymnasts in both neutral and trunk self-elongation positions.
Spine Kinematics Behavior During the Handstand Posture: A Biplanar Radiographic Analysis.
J Funct Morphol Kinesiol
December 2024
The handstand is an exercise performed in many sports, either for its own sake or as part of physical training. Unlike the upright bipedal standing posture, little is known about the sagittal alignment and balance of the spine during a handstand, which may hinder coaching and reduce the benefits of this exercise if not performed correctly. The purpose of this study was to quantify the sagittal alignment and balance of the spine during a handstand using radiographic images to characterize the strategies employed by the spino-pelvic complex during this posture.

- Understanding MWC vibrations is essential for user well-being and better integration into society, leading to improved design principles.
- The study used a full factorial experiment to analyze how factors like load, speed, floor type, and MWC models affect vibration exposure, revealing that floor type has the greatest impact.
- It suggests using able-bodied participants in experiments instead of dummies for a more accurate representation of real-life MWC user experiences.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a surgical strategy for treating painful ankle impingements that can occur after high-energy trauma resulting in extra-articular open fractures of the leg.
- The proposed method involves performing anterior and posterior arthroscopies primarily in the supine position, aiming to minimize complications and simplify the process.
- Initial results from a small group of patients and cadaver tests suggest that the strategy is effective, with data supporting improvements in pain, mobility, and functional scores post-surgery.
Clinical and functional outcomes of 405 Achilles tendon ruptures after a minimum follow-up of 1 year.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the outcomes of surgical versus conservative treatments for acute Achilles tendon ruptures, focusing on complications, functional outcomes, and clinical results after at least one year of follow-up.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis involving 405 patients treated in France between 2018 and 2019, gathering data on demographics, treatment methods, rehabilitation, and various clinical tests.
- The results showed that while rerupture rates were similar between both groups, conservative treatment had a higher overall complication rate, while certain functional outcomes favored surgical treatment.
