Segmental percentage contributions of cervical spine during different motion ranges of flexion and extension.
TL;DR: The segmental percentage contributions in this study might imply that the cervical flexion movement initially relied more on the middle cervical segments and later on the lower ones, whereas a motion pattern trend from lower to middle segments was observed during cervical extension.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that anterior lean traction in sitting position provided more intervertebral disc space enlargements in both anterior and posterior aspects than axial traction did, which may serve as a therapeutic reference when cervical traction is suggested.
The kinetic changes of gait across calf myofascial intervention
TL;DR: The purposes of this study were to investigate the influence of the chronic calf muscle tightness caused by myofascial pain syndrome on gait performance and the treatment effect in order to inform the clinical management of patients with inflexibility of calf muscles.

Treatment of Piriformis Myofascial Pain Syndrome Related to Lumbar Facet Lesion: A Case Report
TL;DR: It is concluded that, in some cases of piriformis myofascial pain syndrome is related to a lumbar facet joint lesion, which can suppress the symptoms completely for a significantly long period.
