Walking Slope and Heavy Backpacks Affect Peak and Impulsive Lumbar Joint Contact Forces.
J Biomech Eng
January 2025
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Quantitative Biosciences and Engineering Program, Colorado School of Mines, 1500 Illinois St, Golden, CO 80401.
Heavy load carriage is associated with musculoskeletal overuse injury, particularly in the lumbar spine. In addition, steep walking slopes and heavy backpacks separately require adaptation of torso kinematics, but the combined effect of sloped walking and heavy backpack loads on lumbar joint contact forces is unclear. Backpacks with hip belt attachments can reduce pressure under the shoulder straps; however, it is unknown if wearing a hip belt reduces lumbar spine forces.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to achieve consensus among senior orthopedic surgeons on managing type III acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations using a Delphi survey conducted by the Shoulder, Elbow Society India (SESI).
- Participation involved twenty selected surgeons who answered two rounds of surveys, with a consensus defined as 70% agreement on a 5-point scale.
- The survey reached a consensus on seven key management topics, including imaging requirements, treatment options for stable versus unstable injuries, and the efficacy of conservative management techniques.
Enlarged Breast Size (Macromastia) and Associated Neurologic Risks: A Scoping Review.

From the Department of Neurology (K.S.P., S.K., B.L.N., R.E.W.), and Department of Plastic Surgery (E.L., L.R.D., A.J.K., I.P., B.C., M.D.), Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist; Wake Forest University School of Medicine (B.W.H., M.D.), Winston-Salem, NC; Department of Neurology (N.H.-H., J.M.P.), Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Headache Center, Bronx, NY; and Department of Neurology (L.D.S.), Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Richmond.
Background And Objectives: Symptomatic macromastia (enlarged breasts) is a syndrome of persistent headache, neck and shoulder pain, thoracic kyphosis, painful shoulder grooving from bra straps, inframammary rash, backache, and upper extremity paresthesias. Up to 89% of the 100,000 US women undergoing breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty) annually report headache preoperatively with many endorsing postoperative headache improvement. Headache is one insurance indication to cover surgical reduction, and peak prevalence of migraine matches the average age of women with macromastia at time of surgery.

Introduction: Functional incapacity caused by physical alterations leads to significant limitations in daily activities and has a major impact on the return of people with disabilities to the social space and the workplace. This calls for an evaluation of the long-term influence of the use of a device specially developed for orthostatic posture on the physiological, biomechanical and functional parameters of amputees and spinal cord patients.
Objective: The objective was evaluate the effect of postural support device use on function, pain, and biomechanical and cardiologic parameters in spinal cord injury and amputees patients compared to a control group.
