Aim:

To determine the efficacy and safety of the Magec system in early onset scoliosis (EOS).

Methods:

In 2011, 6 males and 2 females had Magec rods, with an average age of 8.5 years (2.9–12.7 years), 7 patients had dual rods, and 1 had single. The main cause of EOS was idiopathic scoliosis (n=6), followed by Congenital (n=1), and Syndromic (n=1). Average follow up was 19.4 months (14–26 months). 4 of these patients had their previous Paediatric Isola growing rods exchanged to Magec, and 1 patient had an exchange from single to Dual Magec rods.

Aim:

To measure truncal parameters for patients treated with growing rod systems for early onset scoliosis (EOS).

Methods:

44 patients underwent growth rod surgery for EOS between 1999 and 2013 (24 females and 20 males). 27 patients had idiopathic scoliosis, 13 congenital, 3 syndromic and 1 neuromuscular. 26 patients had Paediatric Isola, 8 had Paediatric Expedium, 4 had dual growth rods with domino's and 9 each had VEPTR and MAGEC rods systems. Medical records and radiographs were analysed. Cobb angle, T1-T12 and T1-S1 length, coronal and sagittal balance, apical vertical translation (AVT), space available for the lung (SAL) and shoulder balance were measured.

Aims/background

Current treatment recommendations advocate various exercise modalities for people with chronic Low Back Pain (cLBP)1. Walking appears to represent an inexpensive and readily accessible activity for a range of individuals, including those who were previously sedentary. However, the effectiveness of such interventions are uncertain in cLBP.

Methods

A systematic review was undertaken to examine the effectiveness of walking interventions across a range of chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions, including LBP. Six electronic databases were searched for relevant studies. Data for pain and self reported function were extracted and where appropriate, results were pooled and analysed using RevMan (v.5).
