ABSTRACT Introduction The aesthetic appearance of the torso is the foremost concern of scoliotic patients, which, if not addressed, could adversely affect their life quality. The Cobb angle limitation in describing three-dimensional (3D) deformities of the spine and its associated ionizing radiation motivated clinicians to implement noninvasive surface topography (ST) methods for monitoring scoliosis. This study aimed to review the accuracy of the most commonly used ST systems and their ST parameters in predicting and monitoring scoliosis. Materials and Methods The scientific databases were used to search for the studies considering the validity and reliability of different ST methods published in English from 1970 to July 2020. Results Of 221 found publications, 41 journal publications were evaluated for this review. The accuracy of ST methods was affected by light source quality, acquisition time, and postural sway. Some ST parameters resulted in a high correlation with radiographic measurements and classified scoliosis deformities into mild, moderate, and severe. Some ST parameters may not effectively predict the Cobb angle but could monitor curve progression accurately. Representing spine deformities in the lumbar section and subjects with higher body mass index was associated with more significant errors due to thicker soft tissues around the spine. Conclusions According to the present review, ST systems could complement radiography measurements and provide valuable insights into different aspects of internal and external deformity; however, they have not reached a state that can replace radiography in the management of scoliosis. Clinical Relevance The present study helps clinicians choose the most appropriate ST methods for predicting and monitoring scoliotic curves and torso asymmetry evaluations.

ABSTRACT Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a destructive joint disease and a major cause of pain in the elderly. The use of supportive orthoses including valgus knee brace, lateral wedged insole, and ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is a common treatment for these people. The purpose of this review of the literature is to evaluate the effect of orthoses on pain, function, and adduction moment (AM) of individuals with medial knee OA. Method The search was conducted among articles published from 2010 to 2021 in bibliographic online databases including ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The potential titles and abstracts were reviewed based on the study inclusion criteria. All randomized controlled trial (RCT) studies on the effectiveness of valgus knee brace, AFO, and lateral wedged insoles in subjects with medial knee OA were reviewed. The search terms were OA, medial knee osteoarthritis, medial joint arthritis, unloader knee brace, valgus knee brace, knee sleeve, lateral wedge insole, AFO, ankle-foot orthosis, function, pain, alignment, kinetic, kinematic, and AM. Result Forty-two articles were reviewed to determine the current research process. Thirteen studies evaluated the effect of lateral wedge insole on pain, function, and AM in subjects with medial compartment knee OA. Ten studies evaluated unloader knee braces. Nine studies evaluated unloader knee brace compared with lateral wedge insole, three studies evaluated AFO, and seven studies examined the combination of knee braces and lateral wedge insoles on pain, function, and AM. Conclusion All three orthoses in short-term follow-up reduced the AM in subjects with medial knee OA. Lateral wedge insoles did not support pain reduction in studies. The results of this study showed that knee braces may have a more lasting effect on the knee joint in the long run than lateral wedge insoles. Although the number of studies that evaluated the effect of AFOs on outcomes of subjects with knee OA is low, this intervention was found to be effective in relieving pain and reducing AM. Clinical Relevance In clinical studies, clinical relevance in patients with medial knee OA, orthoses effectively reduced external knee AM and pain sensation during daily activities. Thus, use of orthoses effectively supports conservative treatment in medial knee OA.
骨关节炎(OA)是一种破坏性的关节疾病，是老年人疼痛的主要原因。使用支持矫形器，包括外翻膝关节支架，外侧楔形鞋垫和踝足矫形器(AFO)是这些人的常见治疗方法。本文献综述的目的是评估矫形器对膝关节内侧OA患者疼痛、功能和内收力矩(AM)的影响。方法在ISI Web of Science、PubMed、Scopus、谷歌Scholar等文献在线数据库中检索2010 - 2021年发表的论文。根据研究纳入标准对可能的标题和摘要进行综述。我们回顾了所有关于外翻膝关节支架、AFO和外侧楔形鞋垫在膝关节内侧OA患者中的有效性的随机对照试验(RCT)。搜索词为OA，内侧膝关节骨性关节炎，内侧关节关节炎，卸载式膝关节支架，外翻膝关节支架，膝关节套筒，外侧楔形鞋垫，AFO，踝足矫形器，功能，疼痛，对齐，动力学，运动学和AM。结果回顾了42篇文献，确定了当前的研究进程。13项研究评估了外侧楔形鞋垫对内侧室膝关节炎患者疼痛、功能和AM的影响。10项研究评估了卸载式膝关节支架。9项研究评估了卸载式膝关节支架与外侧楔形鞋垫的比较，3项研究评估了AFO, 7项研究检查了膝关节支架与外侧楔形鞋垫的组合对疼痛、功能和AM的影响。结论三种矫形器短期随访均可降低膝关节内侧OA患者的AM。在研究中，侧楔鞋垫不能减轻疼痛。这项研究的结果表明，从长远来看，膝关节支架可能比侧楔鞋垫对膝关节有更持久的影响。虽然评估afo对膝关节OA患者预后影响的研究数量较少，但这种干预措施被发现在缓解疼痛和减少AM方面是有效的。在临床研究中，临床相关性在膝关节内侧OA患者中，矫形器有效地减少了膝关节外侧AM和日常活动时的疼痛感觉。因此，使用矫形器可以有效地支持膝关节内侧OA的保守治疗。

ABSTRACT Introduction Disc protrusion, as a type of lumbar disc herniation, is one of the most common causes of acute lower back pain. Lumbosacral orthoses (LSOs) can be used as a conservative treatment along with routine treatment (physiotherapy and medication). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of routine therapy in association with two types of rigid and semirigid LSOs compared with routine treatment alone on pain, fear of movement, and disability in patients with herniated lumbar disc. Materials and Methods In this quasi-experimental study, 27 patients with lumbar disc herniation (protrusion type) were assigned into three groups including 1, semirigid LSO with routine treatment (n = 8); 2, rigid LSOs with routine treatment (n = 8); and 3, only routine treatment (n = 11). Before using any therapeutic interventions in each group, the pain, disability, and fear of movement were recorded using the visual analog scale, Oswestry questionnaire, and Tampa questionnaire, respectively. Patients in each group then used their allocated intervention for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, variables were recorded under the same protocol. Results In between-group comparison after 4 weeks, no significant difference was observed between them in all variables (P > 0.05). In intragroup comparison, in the group of routine treatment wearing semirigid LSO, a significant decrease in disability, pain, and fear of movement was observed after 4 weeks’ use of intervention compared with before (P < 0.05). Routine treatment using rigid LSO caused a significant reduction in pain and disability and use of routine treatment significantly reduced only disability score (P < 0.05). Conclusions Based on the findings, no significant difference was found between interventions in measured outcomes. However, the use of physiotherapy and medication along with semirigid LSO improved all outcomes compared with before using. Clinical Relevance Both routine treatment alone and routine treatment along with an LSO can be used in people with herniated lumbar disc. Use of physiotherapy and medication along with semirigid LSO could improves pain, fear of movement, and disability in these patients.

ABSTRACT Introduction Wheelchair basketball (WB) is one of the most practiced sports among people with disabilities worldwide. There is a lack of data in scientific literature about injuries in sports for disabled people compared with able-bodied sports. The aim of this study is to investigate the epidemiology of injuries in professional WB athletes in an Italian cohort, distinguishing between trauma and overuse lesions and discussing the role of rehabilitation to prevent them. Materials and Methods The design is that of a cross-sectional study. An online survey was distributed to a group of Italian WB athletes competing in the first and second division of FIPIC (Wheelchair Basketball Italian Federation). The survey included demographic data, medical diagnoses, and athletes’ injuries history. The sample size consisted of 104 players. Results Forty-six injuries were reported. Of these, 32/46 (69.6%) were traumatic injuries and 14/46 (30.4%) were overuse injuries. The incidence of tendinopathies and fractures was significantly higher than for other injuries (P < 0.0001). Right shoulder (P < 0.0001), right hand (P = 0.002), and left hand (P = 0.041) injuries incidence was higher than any other injury in a statistically significant manner. The traumatic injuries group had a statistically significant difference in terms of days of suspension from sport activities compared with overuse injuries group (traumatic: median, 30; interquartile range [IQR], 14.5–40.0; range, 1–730 vs. overuse: median, 20.5; IQR, 10–21; range, 1–30; P = 0.006). Conclusions Trauma injuries are more common than overuse injuries. Injury prevention strategies should be based on rethinking protection devices technologies and integrating sport activities into a tailored rehabilitation global project that considers each athlete’s functional impairment and needs. Clinical Relevance Implementing the knowledge on WB injuries can really help to reinterpret rehabilitation in a new way, aimed at both the treatment and the prevention of these injuries. This will make this sport safer and more effective in improving the physical skills of people with disabilities.

ABSTRACT Introduction Proper prosthetic prescription directly impacts rehabilitation and the quality of life of an individual with amputation, yet complications during the prescription process remain a challenge for prosthetists as a variety of patient-specific and prosthetic-specific factors need to be considered simultaneously during prescription. This research aims to identify the factors that affect decision making during prosthetic prescription and rehabilitation processes of individuals with lower-limb amputation via evidence-based approaches. Materials and Methods Abstracts of 140 articles were analyzed using topic modeling—a natural language processing algorithm. Results Mining abstracts of relevant literature revealed seven factors that influence prosthetic prescription and six factors that affect rehabilitation of individuals with amputation. Conclusion The findings of this study focus on improving the rehabilitation process of individuals with lower-limb amputation, enhancing the patient-provider relationship, and improving the overall quality of life via evidence-based methods. Clinical Relevance Understanding the factors that affect prosthetic prescription and patient rehabilitation from the past literature is critical to the establishment of formal and standard prescription strategies that can eventually improve the quality of life of persons with lower-limb amputation.

ABSTRACT Introduction The objective of this study was to reproduce a skater-style shoe lift. Methods Tracings and measurements taken from the previous skater shoe lift were used to make a reproduction of a new skater shoe lift. Results A successful reproduction of the skater sole lift was completed. Clinical Relevance This is clinically relevant due to allowing patients an additional option for large leg-length discrepancies to avoid surgery while still providing a strong, stable base and reducing overall weight.
