In clinical practice, we found a unilateral instability in patients with right thoracic scoliosis during asymmetric spinal stabilization exercise (ASSE), which can be an important clue to identify the pathophysiology of idiopathic scoliosis (IS).We investigated the relationship between unilateral postural instability and weakness of paraspinal muscles according to curve pattern. And finally, we propose the new exercise method based on the curve pattern.Combined use of prospective and retrospective clinical trials.Fifteen participants without IS and 10 patients with IS in 1 tertiary referral hospital.In 15 participants without IS, surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to evaluate the muscular activation patterns in the bilateral erector spinae (ES), rectus abdominis (RA), and external oblique (EO) muscles during ASSE. In addition, to assess the clinical effect of ASSE, Cobb angle and rotation grade were measured from 10 patients with IS.The most significant findings from the sEMG data were the increased activities of ipsilateral 7th thoracic ES during hand-up motion, ipsilateral 3rd lumbar ES during leg-up motion, and 12th thoracic and 3rd lumbar ES during side-bridging. In a radiographic analysis, specific components of ASSE that activates the concave side muscles were found to be effective for IS.The paraspinal muscle strengthening of the concave side using ASSE can improve the severity of scoliosis. Based on this research, we could propose a new exercise protocol that can be personalized according to the curve pattern.

The objective of this study was to assess the course of rehabilitation of patients hospitalized in the cardiac rehabilitation unit after surgery for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection, extending beyond the ascending aorta, and comparing these findings with those for patients who, after the same type of surgery, had no remaining dissection. The aim was to develop an optimal cardiac rehabilitation model for this patient population, given the lack of clear guidelines. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate their one-year survival.

Haematological malignancies and their treatment regimens often lead to various complications that impair patients' physical functioning. This study aimed to assess the level of physical activity and exercise capacity in patients with haematological malignancies who were qualified for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). A prospective, single-centre study was conducted on patients with haematological malignancies qualified for HSCT (study group, = 103) and a cohort of healthy volunteers (reference group, = 100).
