Correlation analysis of sagittal alignment and skeletal muscle mass in patients with spinal degenerative disease
Orthopedics | BMI, ICW, ECW, SLM, SMM, BFM, PBF, Protein, Mineral | A Hiyama et al | 2018 | Japan | Scientific Reports
We investigated how skeletal muscle mass (SMM) affects spinal sagittal balance (radiographic parameters) in symptomatic spinal patients. The first purpose of this study was to evaluate the body composition and the spinal sagittal alignment in symptomatic spinal patients. The second purpose of this study was to compare whether the body composition and the spinal sagittal alignment is different in patients with cervical spine disease and lumbar spine disease. We retrospectively evaluated 313 patients who were hospitalized for …
Association between locomotive syndrome and blood parameters in Japanese middle-aged and elderly individuals: a cross-sectional
Orthopedics | BW, SMM, BFM, PBF | Yoshihara et al. | 2019 | Japan | BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Locomotive syndrome (LS) is associated with weakness and loss of function in the musculoskeletal organs. We aimed to determine the association between LS components and blood parameters in middle-aged and elderly individuals. We included 223 middle-aged and elderly individuals in this study (104 men and 119 women; age: 40–85 years). All participants were asked to fast for at least 3 h before the venous blood samples were obtained and the hemoglobin, total protein, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), growth hormone …
A randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of equine simulator riding on low back pain, morphological changes, and
Orthopedics | PBF, BFM, MM | Park et al. | 2020 | Korea | Medicina
Background and objectives: Studies on the effects of an equine riding simulator (ERS) program on back pain, spinal alignment, and isokinetic moments in subjects with chronic low back pain (CLBP) remain limited. The purpose of this study was to analyze changes in elderly women with CLBP who participate in an ERS program. Materials and Methods: The 80 participants were all women aged 61–84 years who were randomly assigned to either the control group (CON) or ERS group (ERSG). ERS exercise was performed for a duration …
Foot orthosis treatment improves physical activity but not muscle quantity in patients with concurrent rheumatoid arthritis and
Orthopedics | MM | Hishikawa et al. | 2020 | Japan | Mod Rheumatol
Objectives Foot impairment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may exacerbate sarcopenia from physical inactivity because of foot pain while walking. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with RA-associated foot impairment, and whether treatment with a foot orthosis improved physical activity and muscle quantity. Methods Thirty-two patients with RA were diagnosed as sarcopenic or nonsarcopenic, and the prevalence of sarcopenia was determined. Eleven patients with sarcopenia were treated with a foot …
Impact of pelvic incidence on lumbar osteophyte formation and disc degeneration in middle-aged and elderly people in a prospect
Orthopedics | SMI, BMI | Imagama et al. | 2020 | Japan | European Spine Journal
Purpose Pelvic incidence (PI) is unique to each individual and does not change throughout life. High PI is related to lumbar spondylolisthesis, but associations of PI with lumbar osteophyte formation and disc degeneration are unclear. The objective was to evaluate relationships of PI with lumbar osteophyte formation and disc degeneration, as well as spinal sagittal alignment and geriatric diseases, in middle-aged and elderly people. Methods A total of 1002 volunteers (male: 434, female: 568, average age: 63.5) were …
