Inconclusive findings have been shown in previous studies comparing lumbar range of movement (LROM) and lumbar lordosis between back pain patients and healthy subjects. In these studies, confounding variables such as age, gender, height, obesity, and pain level were usually not well controlled. The
Retrospective study.Associations among risk factors related to adjacent segmental disease (ASD) remain unclear. We evaluated the risk factors and segmental lordosis ratio to prevent ASD developing after lumbar spinal fusion.Risk OBJECTIVE
Obesity can be associated with increased complications and potentially worse outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the impact of obesity on complications and outcomes in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) who underwent minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
METHODS
A multicenter database of
To investigate the impact of obesity on the restoration of sagittal balance after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF). To examine the correlation between obesity and sagittal balance and their influence on clinical efficacy. A total of 183 patients who underwent PLIF for degenerative lumbar
BACKGROUND
Combined anterior/posterior (A/P) spinal fusion with instrumentation has been used for many years in the treatment of adult thoracolumbar and lumbar (TL/L) scoliosis. However, the risk factors for complications and poor clinical outcomes with this procedure are not well
Given the paucity of literature regarding compensatory mechanisms used by obese patients with sagittal malalignment, it is necessary to gain a better understanding of the effects of obesity on compensation after comparing the degree of malalignment to age-adjusted ideals. This study Retrospective comparative cohort study.To compare radiographic parameters between adolescents with a greater body mass index (BMI) percentile to underweight individuals. Increased BMI percentile has been associated with increased complications after Retrospective comparative cohort study.To compare radiographic parameters between adolescents with a greater body mass index (BMI) percentile to underweight individuals.Increased BMI percentile has been associated with increased Obese Zucker rats are hyperphagic, overweight, and infertile. It has been postulated that neuropeptide Y (NPY) overproduction may contribute to obesity and infertility in these animals. To test this hypothesis, ovariectomized, adult obese Zucker rats were implanted with cannulae in the third
METHODS
Retrospective cohort analysis of prospectively collected data.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether an association exists between body mass and surgical outcomes in patients with degenerative scoliosis after long instrumented spinal arthrodesis (≥ 4 discs).
BACKGROUND
Obesity is thought to be
The aim of this work is to estimate the frequency of overweight and obesity phenomena among 6-7 y. o. rural and urban children and to assess physical fitness and body posture of these girls and boys against a background of peers.
METHODS
The researches were conducted on 524 children: 279 boys and
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine whether obesity is associated with less postural stability in young adults, and whether it is influenced by anterior pelvic tilt angle and sensory dysfunction.
METHODS
Center of gravity (COG) velocity and total sway distance with eyes open or eyes
Obese female Zucker rats have several reproductive abnormalities, including delayed puberty, abnormal estrous cyclicity, and behavioral hyporesponsiveness to ovarian steroid hormones. To ascertain whether excessive body weight per se causes these reproductive abnormalities, obese Zucker female rats
OBJECTIVE
There is a lack of studies on obesity measured by outer abdominal fat (OAF), which describes abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness with regard to spino-pelvic parameters. We investigated OAF and its physiologic values on computed tomography (CT) scans with regard to age, gender,
BACKGROUND
Orthostatic hypertension was associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes, although the factors responsible for an orthostatic rise in blood pressure (BP) are uncertain. We investigated a possible relationship between a stooping posture and orthostatic BP change.

Study
