Introduction of the Novel Radiographic Line (L5-Kyphosis Apex Line) Intended to Evaluate Scheuermann's Disease and Postural Kyphosis Progression on Standard Lateral X-Rays.

Study Design: Cross-sectional and follow-up nested study.

Purpose: To assess the reliability of the L5-kyphosis apex line (L5-KAL) evaluation and determine the association between changes in L5-KAL, changes in radiological parameters, and changes in clinical symptoms.

Overview Of Literature: Scheuermann's disease is the most common cause of hyperkyphosis of the thoracolumbar and thoracic spine during adolescence.

The Effect of Schroth Therapy on Thoracic Kyphotic Curve and Quality of Life in Scheuermann's Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Study Design: Randomized controlled single-blinded clinical trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of Schroth therapy on thoracic curve angle, pain, and self-perceived body image (SPBI) of the back in Scheuermann's patients in comparison with the efficacy of classic anti-gravitation exercises.

Overview Of Literature: Scheuermann disease is the most common cause of hyperkyphosis of the thoracic and thoracolumbar spine during adolescence.

Scheuermann's Disease: Radiographic Pathomorphology and Association with Clinical Features.

Study Design: Cross-sectional analytical study.

Purpose: To evaluate the spinal radiological features in patients with Scheuermann's disease and the association between the thoracic kyphosis angle and clinical presentation. Overview of the Literature: Scheuermann's disease is the most common cause of hyperkyphosis of the thoracic and thoracolumbar spine in adolescents; however, literature is limited in this area.

Adaptation of the Scoliosis Research Society-22 Questionnaire for the Hebrew Language: Transcultural Adaptation and Reliability Analysis.

Study Design: A cross-cultural adaptation and reliability study.

Objective: To perform cross-cultural adaptation and evaluate the reliability and validity of the Hebrew version of the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire.

Summary Of Background Data: The SRS-22 validated in different languages is used in assessing health-related quality of life of patients with scoliosis.

Bracing and exercise-based treatment for idiopathic scoliosis.

Background: Various conservative therapies are available for treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), however, the disparities between them and the evidence of their efficacy and effectiveness is still unclear.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of different conservative treatments on AIS.

Methods: A literature-based narrative review of the English language medical literature.

Improvement of clinical and radiographical presentation of Scheuermann disease after Schroth therapy treatment.

Background: Scheuermann's disease is the most common cause of hyperkyphosis of the thoracolumbar spine. Few case reports have demonstrated the effectiveness of Schroth therapy in improving the thoracic angle curve in Scheuermann's patients; however, additional verification is needed.

Case Description: A 14-year-old female patient presented with Scheuermann's disease.

Scheuermann's disease: current diagnosis and treatment approach.

Objectives: To summarize the current knowledge relating to diagnosing and treating Scheuermann's disease. Scheuermann's disease is the most common cause of structural kyphosis in adolescence.

Methods: A literature-based narrative review of English language medical literature.

The effect of a group education programme on pain and function through knowledge acquisition and home-based exercise among patients with knee osteoarthritis: a parallel randomised single-blind clinical trial.

Objectives: To assess the effect of a group education programme on pain and function through knowledge acquisition and a home-based exercise programme.

Design: A parallel randomised single-blind clinical trial.

Participants: Fifty patients aged 65 years or over with knee osteoarthritis.
