Nagoya J Med Sci. 2015 Aug;77(3):329-37. Tauchi R, Imagama S, Muramoto A, Tsuboi M, Ishiguro N, Hasegawa Y Abstract Previous studies evaluated various risk factors for knee OA; however, no study has examined the association between spinal factors, such as total spinal alignment and spinal range of motion (ROM), with knee OA. The purpose of […]
Journal of Physical Therapy Science Vol. 27 (2015) No. 5 May p. 1609-1611 Wontae Gong [Purpose] The aim of this study was to determine the effect of cervical posture manipulation, based on passive motion analysis (MBPMA) and general mobilization, on cervical lordosis, forward head posture (FHP), and cervical ROM in university students with problems in […]
Since my graduation from Chiropractic College (Life Chiropractic College West) in 1994, I’ve spent much of my 20 years in the clinical and research trenches attempting to understand and improve abnormalities of the cervical lordosis in patient populations. I’ve personally been involved in many scientific research investigations developing and discussing the evidence for the connection […]
The Spine Journal Volume 14, Issue 11, 1 November 2014, Pages 2628–2638 Ji-Hye Lee, MD Abstract Background context Neck pain (NP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder, but little is known about the associated risk factors. Purpose We compared anatomic differences in the neck and trunk area of young adult patients with chronic NP and control […]

Original Article European Spine Journal July 2014, Volume 23, Issue 7, pp 1442-1448 First online: 07 January 2014 K. Abelin-Genevois Abstract Purpose To describe the normal cervical sagittal alignment of the pediatric spine in a normal population and to identify the changes during growth period. Methods We randomly selected in PACS database 150 full-spine standing […]
The Study: Relationship between degree of focal kyphosis correction and neurological outcomes for patients undergoing cervical deformity correction surgery. The Facts: a. Cervical kyphosis “can lead to mechanical pain, neurological dysfunction, and functional disabilities.” b. Therefore the more you move the kyphosis toward lordosis the more improvement there might be in outcomes. c. The authors […]

June Quek Manual Therapy Volume 18, Issue 1 , Pages 65-71, February 2013 Abstract It is unclear how age-related postural changes such as thoracic spine kyphosis influence cervical range-of-motion (ROM) in patients with cervical spine dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to explore the mediating effects of forward head posture (FHP) on the relationship […]
