Stefano Negrini,Silvia Minozzi,Josette Bettany-Saltikov,Nachiappan Chockalingam,Theodoros B Grivas,Tomasz Kotwicki,Toru Maruyama,Michele Romano,Fabio Zaina +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the efficacy of bracing for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis versus no treatment or other treatments, on quality of life, disability, pulmonary disorders, progression of the curve, and psychological and cosmetic issues.

Braces for idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents

Exercises for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Michele Romano,Silvia Minozzi,Josette Bettany-Saltikov,Fabio Zaina,Nachiappan Chockalingam,Tomasz Kotwicki,Axel Maier-Hennes,Stefano Negrini +7 more
TL;DR: There is a lack of high quality evidence to recommend the use of SSE for AIS, and one very low quality study suggested that these exercises may be more effective than electrostimulation, traction and postural training to avoid scoliosis progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying lumbar–pelvis coordination during gait using a modified vector coding technique
TL;DR: This study provides comprehensive vector coding and circular statistics calculations and a new illustration to present coordination and coordination variability information of gait kinematics, combining the output from the modified vector coding technique with traditional time-series segmental angle data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of an intervention program on functional movement screen test scores in mixed martial arts athletes.
TL;DR: The knowledge that the FMS can identify movement dysfunctions and the fact that the issues can be improved through a standardized intervention program could be advantageous to MMA coaches, thus, providing the opportunity to adapt and implement new additions to training programs.
