Is lower motor control on the trunk in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain linked to difficulties in working despite functional restoration programs?

Introduction: In the case of patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (cLBP), Functional Restoration Programs (FRP) can improve their condition. Chronicity may reoccur and lead to difficulties in the ability to work related to Fear-Avoidance Beliefs, which may depend on lower motor control.

Rationale Of The Study: Whereas a limited clinical scale evaluates these beliefs, our study is justified by the search to define motor control parameters that can be used as quantified indicators of fear-avoidance beliefs associated with work activity.

Sexual disorders post-stroke: Description of a cohort of patients followed in rehabilitation.

Introduction: The impairments resulting from a stroke can be multiple, including urinary and/or sexual dysfunctions. This acquired brain injury disrupts neurological control of sexual responses.

Main Objective: to describe sexual disorders, after a first episode of stroke, in a population followed in a physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) center.

Can external work during walking in scoliosis patients be estimated from spatiotemporal parameters?

Background: Patients with scoliosis present gait impairments compared to healthy subjects. Clinically, spine deformity is evaluated with Cobb angle, a standard measurement to determine and track the progression of scoliosis. Scoliosis is a biomechanical trouble, dependant of external forces and muscular activity.

Hip loading asymmetry in Lenke type 1 idiopathic scoliosis: Effect of spinal fusion and sex.

Background: Thoracic curvatures are most common in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. The literature highlights an imbalance of hip joint moments in the frontal plane quantified with a symmetry index. Spinal arthrodesis can reduce this symmetry index which then tends towards 0.

Fear-avoidance beliefs, anxiety and depression are associated with motor control and dynamics parameters in patients with chronic low back pain.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of fear-avoidance beliefs, anxiety and depression on dynamic and motor control parameters before and after Functional Restoration Program.

Methods: Patients were divided into three groups depending on clinical scores scores. Dynamic and motor control parameters were extracted from gait analysis.
