The literature on postural control highlights that task performance should be worse in challenging dual tasks than in a single task, because the brain has limited attentional resources. Instead, in th...
The complex and dynamic spinopelvic interplay is not well understood. The aims of the present study were to investigate the following: (1) whether native acetabular anteinclination (AI) in standing po...
A total of 485 patients (Males: 262, Females: 223) with an average age of 64 ± 13 years who underwent a primary LSF were identified from our institutional database. The difference (Δ) between pre-and ...
Following LSF, the average absolute ΔAI was 5.4 ± 4 (0 to 26)°, ΔLL: 5.5 ± 4 (0 to 27)°, ΔaPP: 5.4 ± 4 (0 to 38)°, ΔPT: 7 ± 5 (0 to 33)° and ΔSS: 5.3 ± 4 (0 to 33)°. No significant differences were ob...
Clinical decision-making should consider the relationship between native anteinclination and lumbar lordosis to reduce the risk of functional acetabular component malalignment in patients with concomi...
Retrospective case-control study, Level III....
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by sudden onset thunderclap headache and multiple segmental reversible cerebral vasoconstrictions that improve within 3 months. Th...
A 33-year-old woman presented with a sudden increase in blood pressure and thunderclap headache on the fifth postpartum day (day 1: the first sick day). The headache was severe and pulsatile, with ons...
This postpartum RCVS case was notable for the exacerbation of headaches in the supine position. For the diagnosis of thunderclap headache in the postpartum period, RCVS should be considered in additio...
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are highly prevalent among dental hygiene professionals. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate and compare seated and standing postures during simulated dent...
A convenience sample of 35 female second-year dental hygiene students with no history of musculoskeletal disorders was enrolled in this IRB-approved study. In 2 separate sessions, 1 seated and 1 stand...
Thirty-four students completed the study. Results revealed statistically significant (...
When postures were independently assessed, seated postures were more acceptable on average compared to standing postures, yet both were in the unacceptable range. Lack of training in standing postures...
Results support the need for additional ergonomic training in dental hygiene curricula. Less than ideal posture when seated or standing could increase MSD risk. Future research should examine biomecha...
Adjustable-height desks may provide musculoskeletal health benefits to offset the effects of prolonged sitting. One mechanism may be increased postural variability, here characterized by head and trun...
A method has been developed to assess toe pressure strength in the standing position, taking into account concerns about toe grip strength....
Which is more associated to postural control capability, the conventional toe grip strength or the newly devised toe pressure strength in the standing position, which is close to the actual movement?...
This study is a cross-sectional study. This study included 67 healthy adults (mean age, 19 ± 1 years; 64% male). The postural control capability was measured using the center-of-pressure shift distanc...
Pearson's correlation analysis revealed that the postural control capability was correlated with toe pressure strength in the standing position (r = 0.36, p = 0.003). Multiple regression analysis demo...
The results of this study indicated that toe pressure strength in the standing position was more strongly associated with the postural control capability in healthy adults than toe grip strength in th...
We believe that toe pressure strength in the standing position, which is closer to the actual movement, is more associated with standing up in the older adults than the conventional toe grip strength....
Ninety-five community-dwelling older adults (82 ± 8 years old, 72% female) were included in this study. The patients were evaluated based on their need for assistance in standing up. Physical function...
When compared with and without assistance to stand up, the group requiring assistance had weaker toe pressure strength in the standing position than the group without assistance (p = 0.015, ES = 0.53)...
Toe pressure strength in the standing position was associated with the use of assistance in standing up in older adults. Improving toe pressure strength in the standing position may facilitate the abi...
This study investigated the inter- and intramuscular variability of plantar flexors stiffness during prone and standing positions at different muscle lengths in healthy and paretic individuals. To acc...
This retrospective cross-sectional cohort study investigated the influence of posture on lordosis (LL), length of the spinal canal (LSC), anteroposterior diameter (APD L1-L5), dural cross-sectional ar...
Sixty-eight patients with single-level degenerative central lumbar spinal stenosis (cLSS) presenting with RNR in the standing position (STA) were also investigated in supine (SUP) or neutral seated (S...
Controls (A) and patients with cLSS (B) were comparable in terms of mean age (p = 0.88) and sex (p = 0.22). The progressive transition from STA to FLEX led to a comparable decrease in LL (p = 0.97), a...
The prevalence of RNR in standing position was underestimated by half in supine position. Body postures modified LL, LSC, and APD similarly in patients and controls. Stenotic levels compensated for in...
This prospective cohort study investigated the association between blood pressure (BP) as measured in different body postures and all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality risk....
This population-based investigation included 8,901 Korean adults in 2001 and 2002. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured sequentially in the sitting, supine, a...
Significant associations were found between the BP categories and all-cause mortality, but only when BPs were measured in the supine position. The multivariate hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals)...
BP measured in the supine position predicted all-cause mortality and CV mortality better than BP measured in other postures....
