Analysis of intra- and inter-operator reliability for pre-manipulation positioning and impulse displacements Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology Volume 24, Issue 5, October 2014, Pages 621-627 Abstract To date, kinematics data analyzing continuous 3D motion of upper cervical spine (UCS) manipulation is lacking. This in vitro study aims at investigating inter- and intra-operator reliability of kinematics […]

Takahito Fujimori, MD, PhD The Spine Journal Available online 10 December 2013 In Press Abstract Background Context In vivo three-dimensional kinematics of the thoracic spine in trunk lateral bending with an intact rib cage and soft tissues has not been well documented. There is no quantitative data in the literature for lateral bending in consecutive thoracic […]
William J. Anderst, MS The Spine Journal: Available online 7 November 2013: In Press Abstract Background context A precise and comprehensive definition of “normal” in vivo cervical kinematics does not exist due to high intersubject variability and the absence of midrange kinematic data. In vitro test protocols and finite element models that are validated using […]
Jentzsch T,et al. BMC Med Imaging. 2013 Nov 5;13(1):34. [Epub ahead of print] PubMed Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/24188071/ Full Text Article PDF Abstract BACKGROUND: Correct sagittal alignment with a balanced pelvis and spine is crucial in the management of spinal disorders. The pelvic incidence (PI) describes the sagittal pelvic alignment and is position-independent. It has barely been […]
Daigo Morita European Spine Journal November 2013 Abstract Study design Imaging study of thoracic spine. Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate dynamic alignment and range of motion (ROM) at all segmental levels of thoracic spine. Summary of background data Thoracic spine is considered to have restricted ROM because of restriction by the […]
