Intraobserver and Interobserver Reliability of Pelvic Obliquity Measurement Methods in Patients With Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Background: Despite the importance of the assessment of pelvic obliquity, especially in the planning of surgery, there is no consensus on the pelvic obliquity measurements. The purpose of this study is to assess the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of 4 different pelvic obliquity measuring methods in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS): the Osebold, O'Brien, Maloney, and Allen&Ferguson methods.

Methods: A retrospective cohort of 85 posteroanterior full-spine radiographs in the standing position of patients with IS involving the pelvic obliquity was evaluated by a team of 3 raters.

The Influence of Bilateral and Unilateral Flatfoot on Coronal Spinopelvic Alignment in Asymptomatic Young Healthy Males.

Background: This cross-sectional retrospective study aimed to present the influence of unilateral and bilateral flatfoot on coronal spinopelvic alignment in asymptomatic young healthy males.

Methods: This study was performed by examining the medical reports of individuals who applied to the National Health Board to work in positions requiring physical fitness between January 1, 2018, and January 1, 2019. Plain radiographs of the feet, pelvis, and spine were analyzed.

Short foot exercises have additional effects on knee pain, foot biomechanics, and lower extremity muscle strength in patients with patellofemoral pain.

Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common knee problem. The foot posture in a relaxed stance is reported as a distal factor of PFP. However, the effects of short foot exercise (SFE) on the knee and functional factors have not yet been investigated in patients with PFP.

The effects of Clinical Pilates exercises on patients with shoulder pain: A randomised clinical trial.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Clinical Pilates exercises on patients with shoulder pain.

Material And Methods: Thirty-three patients, experiencing shoulder pain continuously for at least four weeks were selected as study subjects. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, namely Clinical Pilates exercise (n = 17) group and conventional exercise (n = 16) group.

Investigating the effects of a multidimensional exercise program on symptoms and antiinflammatory status in female patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a multidimensional exercise program on symptoms and antiinflammatory status in female patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

Methods: The BATH Indexes, Dougados Functional Index (DFI), Health Assessment Questionnaire in Spondyloarthopathies (HAQ-S), Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to evaluate twenty-four female AS patients. ESR, CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 were also analyzed.
