Background: In patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS), reduced thoracic kyphosis and reduced lumbar lordosis frequently occur in correlation with the lateral spinal curvature. Normalization of the sagittal profile and hyper-correction of the deviation in frontal and coronal plane are the main issues of the latest concept of bracing. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of of sagittal counter forces (SCF) on the scoliotic deformity.
Study Design: A case series of four patients with IS treated with two braces designed to improve the sagittal profile (Rigo-System-Chêneau-brace and with a sagittal counter force brace, SCF-brace).
Methods: The short-term effect (30 min) of both braces was evaluated using surface topography (Formetric surface topography system, Diers International, Wiesbaden).
Results: One patient (Cobb angle 92 degrees ) showed no short-term correction in the frontal and coronal planes; others (Cobb angles between 39 and 48 degrees ) exhibited valuable correction in frontal and coronal planes. There was no short-term correction in the sagittal plane for either brace.
Conclusion: The application of sagittal counter forces (SCF) seems to have similar short-term effects as 3D correction and should be addressed more in future concepts of scoliosis bracing.

We present a chronic migraine (CM) patient demonstrating significant improvement in subjective and objective reported outcome measures with deeper cervical lordosis parameters and reduced forward head posture on radiographs. A 29-year-old male suffered from CM reporting significant pain and disability with aural, sensory, and motor disturbances during the migraine headaches. Aura with visual disturbances, abnormal facial and extremity sensation, sporadic motor weakness, and other signs of CM were found in the patient's history since age 10.

We present a case report of a patient suffering from chronic low back pain (CLBP) and chronic non-specific neck pain (CNSNP), both of which were caused and complicated by a physically demanding occupation, a history of mixed martial arts, and lumbar scoliosis. Improvements in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and radiographic findings were observed following conservative spine rehabilitation. The patient, a 34-year-old male, had experienced chronic spine pain, particularly CLBP and CNSNP, for several years.

Unlabelled: Designing appropriate diagnostic and treatment methods to reduce fall risk and improve quality of life, as well as reduce the cost of care in elderlies. Our findings have potential for early diagnosis of those with a high probability of falling based on fairly simple clinical measures of hyperkyphosis, forward head, and lordosis.
Introduction: Poor balance is an underlying cause of falling in the elderly, for which a change in the natural curvature of the spine plays a major role.
Purpose: Analysis of the abnormal motion of thoraco-abdominal organs in respiratory disorders such as the Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome (TIS) and scoliosis such as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) or early onset scoliosis (EOS) can lead to better surgical plans. We can use healthy subjects to find out the normal architecture and motion of a rib cage and associated organs and attempt to modify the patient's deformed anatomy to match to it. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is a practical and preferred imaging modality for capturing dynamic images of healthy pediatric subjects.

Background and objective The risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission from patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during nebulization is unclear. In this study, we aimed to address this issue. Methods Fugitive emissions of aerosolized saline during nebulization were observed using a standard jet nebulizer fitted with unfiltered and filtered mouthpieces connected via a mannequin to a breathing simulator.
