A Classroom-Based Intervention for Reducing Sedentary Behavior and Improving Spinal Health: Pragmatic Stepped-Wedge Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

A Classroom-Based Intervention for Reducing Sedentary Behavior and Improving Spinal Health: Pragmatic Stepped-Wedge Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Interrupting prolonged sitting bouts by alternating between sitting and standing may have the additional benefit of improving spinal health. Prolonged sitting has been shown to increase axial loading of the spine and increase back muscle activation, which could lead to back pain [9].

Evaluation of Financial Support Workshops for Patients Under State Pension Age With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Survey Study

Evaluation of Financial Support Workshops for Patients Under State Pension Age With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Survey Study

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a form of slow-motion and progressive spinal cord injury caused by spinal cord compression secondary to degenerative pathology. This includes disease processes such as cervical spondylosis, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, ossification of the ligamentum flavum, and degenerative disc disease [1,2]. Globally, it is estimated to affect 2% of adults, although less than 10% are formally diagnosed at this time [3,4].

Machine Learning and Symptom Patterns in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Web-Based Survey Study

Machine Learning and Symptom Patterns in Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Web-Based Survey Study

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is a progressive spinal cord injury caused by spinal cord compression from degenerative pathology and consists of various subcategories of pathology, including cervical spondylotic myelopathy, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, ossification of the ligamentum flavum, and degenerative disc disease [1-4]. It is estimated to affect 2% of adults, although fewer than 10% are currently diagnosed [5,6].

Results of Gensingen Bracing in Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Retrospective Cross-Sectional Feasibility Study

Results of Gensingen Bracing in Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Retrospective Cross-Sectional Feasibility Study

3 D spinal deformities, called scoliosis, can have different causes. What most forms of scoliosis have in common is that they tend to progress in curvature during periods of increased growth. In most cases (between 80% and 90%), scoliosis affects otherwise healthy individuals and first appears during the pubertal growth spurt [1-4]. Treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) consists of corrective exercise treatments, the application of various braces, and surgical treatment [5].

Rapidly Deteriorating Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Following Ventricular Shunt Revision for Hydrocephalus: Case Report

Rapidly Deteriorating Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Following Ventricular Shunt Revision for Hydrocephalus: Case Report

Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the umbrella term for a range of chronic spinal injuries caused by cervical stenosis due to degenerative or congenital pathology [1,2]. DCM presents with motor or sensory dysfunction in the upper or lower limbs, such as the loss of dexterity, paresthesia and imbalance, pain, and bladder and bowel dysfunction [3]. We report the case of a patient with worsening DCM following the treatment of coexisting hydrocephalus.
