Hyperkyphosis is most prevalent in this population and is associated with adverse consequences.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the test-retest reliability of a measurement technique consisting of photogrammetry and angle calculation in older adults with and without hyperkyphosis.

Background: Thoracolumbar fractures are classified into four categories according to the mechanism of injury and fracture morphology into compression fracture, burst fracture, flexion-distraction injury, and fracture dislocation. Unfortunately, the management of spinal fracture has lacked standardization given the many unanswered yet relevant questions regarding the outcome. However, management is generally divided into surgical and nonsurgical treatment such as orthosis.

Introduction: Historically, prehospital care of trauma patients has included nearly universal use of a cervical collar (C-collar) and long spine board (LSB). Due to recent evidence demonstrating harm in using LSBs, implementation of new spinal motion restriction (SMR) protocols in the prehospital setting should reduce LSB use, even among patients with spinal cord injury. Our goal in this study was to evaluate the rates of and reasons for LSB use in high-risk patients-those with hospital-diagnosed spinal cord injury (SCI)-after statewide implementation of SMR protocols.
