Introduction. Today, there is no clear consensus as to the amplitude of movement of the “normal hip”. Knowing the necessary joint mobility for everyday life is important to understand different pathologies and to better plan their treatments. Moreover, determining the hip range of

Study Purpose. A preliminary study to compare continuous sagittal plane lumbar inter-vertebral kinematics in 10 healthy volunteers in recumbent and weight bearing configurations using quantitative fluoroscopy. Background. There are no direct in-vivo comparisons between continuous weight bearing and non-weight bearing inter-vertebral kinematics in the same healthy individuals. This information will advance our knowledge of spine mechanics and provide reference values for clinical studies. Methods. Ten male healthy control volunteer subjects aged between 30 and 50 underwent a recumbent bending procedure during fluoroscopy. All participants repeated this in weight bearing. Trunk
As the field of hip arthroscopy continues to develop, functional measures and testing become increasingly important in patient selection, managing patient expectations prior to surgery, and physical readiness for return to athletic participation. The Hip Sport Test (HST) was developed to assess strength, coordination, agility, and range of

Study purpose and background. Kinematic variables have been identified as potential biomarkers for low back pain patients; however, an in-depth comparison between chronic (n=22), acute (n=15), and healthy controls (n=136) has not been done. This retrospective data analysis compared intervertebral lumbar

Purpose and Background. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) can affect 56–80% of physiotherapists. Patient handling is reported as a significant risk factor for developing WRMSD with the back most frequently injured. Physiotherapists perform therapeutic handling to manually assist and facilitate patients’ movement to aid rehabilitation, which can increase physiotherapists risk of experiencing high forces during patient handling. Methods and Results. A descriptive cross-sectional study was completed to explore and quantitatively measure the movement of ten physiotherapists during patient handling, over one working day, in a neurological setting. A wearable 3-dimensional
Introduction. Interactions between hip, pelvis and spine, as abnormal spinopelvic movements, have been associated with inferior outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Changes in pelvis position lead to a mutual change in functional cup orientation, with both pelvic tilt and rotation having a significant effect on version. Hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients have shown reduced hip kinematics which may place increased demands on the pelvis and the spine. Sagittal and coronal planes assessments are commonly done as these can be adequately studied with anteroposterior and lateral radiographs. However, abnormal pelvis rotation is likely to compromise the outcome as they have a detrimental effect on cup orientation and increased impingement risk. This study aims to determine the association between dynamic
Abstract. Objectives. Neonatal motor development transitions from initially spontaneous to later increasingly complex voluntary movements. A delay in transitioning may indicate cerebral palsy (CP). The general movement optimality score (GMOS) evaluates infant movement variety and is used to diagnose CP, but depends on specialized physiotherapists, is time-consuming, and is subject to inter-observer differences. We hypothesised that an objective means of quantifying movements in young infants using
