Introduction: Major Adverse Events (MAE) following Cervical Spinal Manipulations (CSM) have been described anecdotally and are frequently discussed. Until now, exact incidence rates are unknown. Furthermore, there are doubts concerning the factors which may play a role in the occurrence of MAE. Objectives: …

Of all patients in a hospital environment, trauma patients may be particularly at risk for developing (device-related) pressure ulcers (PUs), because of their traumatic injuries, immobility, and exposure to immobilizing and medical devices. Studies on device-related PUs are scarce. With this study, the …

This is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects of skeletal muscle training on functional performance in people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 3 and to identify any adverse effects

BACKGROUND: Current evidence shows that manual therapy elicits analgesic effect in different populations (healthy, pain inflicted and patients with musculoskeletal pain) when carried out at the spinal column, although the clinical significance of these effects remains unclear. Also the analgesic effects …

Aim: Optimise a set of exposure factors, with the lowest effective dose, to delineate spinal curvature with the modified Cobb method in a full spine using computed radiography (CR) for a 5-year-old paediatric anthropomorphic phantom. Methods: Images were acquired by varying a set of parameters: positions …

This review aims to identify strategies to optimise radiography practice using digital technologies, for full spine studies on paediatrics focusing particularly on methods used to diagnose and measure severity of spinal curvatures. The literature search was performed on different databases (PubMed, Google …

Achtergrond: Decubitus is een ernstige complicatie bij dwarslaesiepatiënten. Een dwarslaesiepatiënt heeft tot 85% kans decubitus te ontwikkelen in zijn of haar leven. Druk of druk in combinatie met schuifkrachten veroorzaken beschadigingen van de huid en onderliggend weefsel, meestal op sacrum (43%), …

Doelstelling: Deze literatuurstudie wil meer inzicht geven in wat de effecten zijn van robotondersteunde loopbandtraining bij mensen met een incomplete dwarslaesie op loopafstand en loopsnelheid. Daarbij wordt de robottraining vergeleken met andere vormen van looptraining. Methode: Om de vraagstelling …

Doel: Dit literatuuronderzoek is een review over de aanpassingsmogelijkheden die ervoor zorgen dat de krachten in het schoudergewricht tot een minimum worden gereduceerd voor dwarslaesiepatiënten die gebruik maken van een manuele rolstoel (MR). Methode: Er is voor deze studie gezocht naar artikelen in …

A wheelchair undergoes vibrations while traveling over obstacles and uneven surfaces, resulting in whole body vibration of the person sitting in the wheelchair. According to clinicians, people with spinal cord injury (SCI) report that vibration evokes spasticity. The relatively …
