Conceptual Framework of Upper Cross Syndrome: A Delphi Study.

Background: Upper cross syndrome (UCS) is one of the most common postural dysfunctions due to prolonged flexed attitude. Good posture plays an important role in maintaining musculoskeletal balance and protecting it from further injury. Conducting research on the conceptual framework will help clinicians to identify and plan treatment strategies for the correction of this syndrome and prevent secondary complications.

Cervical sagittal alignment in Lenke 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and assessment of its alteration with surgery: a retrospective, multi-centric study.

Purpose: To document baseline cervical sagittal characteristics in Lenke 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients and assess the alteration in these parameters with surgery.

Methods: Pre-operative and 2-year postoperative radiographs of 82 Lenke 1 AIS patients recruited from five hospitals were analysed. Selected radiographic parameters capturing regional and global sagittal alignment were measured.

Is routine removal of syndesmotic screw justified? A meta-analysis.

Background: Syndesmosis injuries are common with rotational ankle injuries, and placement of a positional syndesmotic screw to maintain its reduction is used as the ligaments heal. There is no clear consensus on routine removal or retention of syndesmotic screw. This study aimed to appraise the current evidence both on removal and retention of syndesmotic screw and to conduct a meta-analysis comparing outcomes and rate of complications of syndesmotic screw removal and retention.

Strength training for partially paralysed muscles in people with recent spinal cord injury: a within-participant randomised controlled trial.

Study Design: Within-participant randomised controlled trial.

Objectives: To determine whether strength training combined with usual care increases strength in partially paralysed muscles of people with recent spinal cord injury (SCI) more than usual care alone.

Settings: SCI units in Australia and India.

Acute pain service: the journey in a developing country setting.

Background: In India, acute pain service (APS) is in nascent stage because of lesser importance given to pain management. After establishing an APS in our hospital, we conducted a prospective audit (2008-2011) with an aim to regularly assess the efficacy of techniques on pain scores, muscle power, and adverse effects.

Methods: The audit was undertaken in three phases.
