Differentiation between benign and malignant vertebral compression fractures using qualitative and quantitative analysis of a single fast spin echo T2-weighted Dixon sequence

Objectives To determine and compare the qualitative and quantitative diagnostic performance of a single sagittal fast spin echo (FSE) T2-weighted Dixon sequence in differentiating benign and malignant vertebral compression fractures (VCF), using multiple r ...

Electrical spinal cord stimulation protocols to regulate motor and autonomic functions in people with neurological disorders

Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker

Neurological disorders such as spinal cord injury (SCI) massively reduce independence and quality of life. Most often, the majority of the nervous system is still fully or partially spared, but dysfunctional due to aberrant or absent descending input from ...

Lumbar and thoracic kinematics during step-up: Comparison of three-dimensional angles between patients with chronic low back pain and asymptomatic individuals

Julien Favre, Guillaume Christe

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been repeatedly observed in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), their exact nature is still unknown. Specifically, there is a need for comprehensive assessments of multisegment spinal angles during daily- ...

Standing Height as a Prevention Measure for Overuse Injuries of the Back in Alpine Ski Racing: A Kinematic and Kinetic Study of Giant Slalom

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel

Background: In alpine ski racing, typical loading patterns of the back include a combined occurrence of spinal bending, torsion, and high peak loads. These factors are known to be associated with high spinal disc loading and have been suggested to be attri ...

Patient-specific spinal stiffness in AIS: a preoperative and noninvasive method

Steve Michel Berger

The clinical tests currently used to assess spinal biomechanics preoperatively are unable to assess true mechanical spinal stiffness. They rely on spinal displacement without considering the force required to deform a patient's spine. We propose a preopera ...

Active Stability of Glenohumeral Joint Diminishes during the End-range Motions

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram, Ehsan Sarshari

The lack of congruence between the involved articular surfaces causes the inherent instability of the glenohumeral joint. This joint is therefore the most commonly dislocated joint in the human body. Anterior instability accounts for over 90% of the should ...

Effect of a pathological scapular tilt after total shoulder arthroplasty

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron

Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is an accepted and most successfully used treatment for different shoulder pathologies. Different risk factors for the failure of the prosthesis are known. A pathological scapular orientation, observed in elderly people or ...

Quantitative estimation of foot-flat and stance phase of gait using foot-worn inertial sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Hossein Rouhani, Benoît Mariani

Time periods composing stance phase of gait can be clinically meaningful parameters to reveal differences between normal and pathological gait. This study aimed, first, to describe a novel method for detecting stance and inner-stance temporal events based ...

Concurrent validity of three measurement systems for the evaluation of cervical spine mobility

Kamiar Aminian, Cyntia Duc

In this study, we compared the cervical range of movement (ROM) and range of angular velocity (RAV) measured simultaneously using a 3-dimensional electrogoniometer, the CA6000-OSI (OSI), an optoelectronic motion capture system (MCS), the VICON® and a weara ...

Analysis of the stability of a posterior fusion system for the treatment of burst fractures

Dominique Pioletti, Arne Christian Vogel, Martin Aeberhard

In the framework of spine traumatology, burst fractures are severe and are often caused by car accidents or by falls. The vertebra breaks under the traumatic compression and pieces of it are shattered in all directions. This type of fracture is often treat ...
