Background: Osteosarcopenia, the coexistence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia, poses significant challenges in aging populations due to its dual impact on bone muscle health. Inflammation, mediated by specific cytokines, is thought play a crucial role development osteosarcopenia, though underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Objective: This study aimed clarify causal circulating cytokines pathogenesis osteosarcopenia employing mendelian randomization (MR) single‐cell RNA sequencing...

There is limited research on the changes of biomechanical characteristics lumbar extensor myofascia in elderly patients with chronic low back pain. This study aimed to compare properties pain and healthy people when resting analyze relationship between Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, visual analog scale (VAS) Cobb angle, disease course myofascia. case-control included 40 volunteers. MyotonPRO was used measure bilateral (at L3/L4 level) all participants, reliability test...

Polylactic glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) has been widely used in tissue engineering due to its good biocompatibility and degradation properties. However, the mismatched mechanical unsatisfactory biological properties of PLGA limit further application bone engineering. Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) is one most promising repair materials non-immunogenicity, well biocompatibility, excellent conductivity. In this study, aiming at shortcomings activity-lack low engineering, customized-designed 3D...

Background: Clinical incidences of chronic low back pain among the elderly are increasing. However, studies have not fully elucidated on changes in biomechanical properties paravertebral muscles patients with unilateral pain. We evaluated painful and non-painful Methods: Biomechanical muscles, including muscle tone stiffness, were measured using MyotonPRO. Lumbar Lordosis Sacral Slope by magnetic resonance imaging. Cross-sectional areas ImageJ software version 1.53. Chronic severity was...

Background: The pathological mechanism of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is unknown. KOA degeneration may be associated with changes in muscle strength, proprioception, biomechanics, and postural stability. Objective: This study aimed to assess asymmetries stability bilateral lower limbs patients unilateral healthy controls analyze correlations between these parameters. Methods: A total 50 (age range: 50-70) subjects were recruited as participants 50-70). Muscle femorotibial angle (FTA), femoral...

Objective: To determine the reliability of FPI-6 in assessment foot posture patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: Thirty volunteers KOA (23 females, 7 males) were included this study, assessed by two raters and at three different moments. Inter-rater test-retest Cohen’s Weighted Kappa (Kw) Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Bland-Altman plots respective 95% limits agreement (LOA) used to assess both inter-rater identify systematic bias. Moreover, internal consistency was...

Background: The influences of age and sex on properties lumbar erector spinae have not been previously studied. Changes in the performance associated with represent a valuable indicator risk for lower-back-related disease. Objective: To investigate regard to provide reference dataset. Methods: We measured muscle tone stiffness (at L3–4 level) healthy men women (50 young people, aged 20–30 years; 50 middle-aged 40–50 elderly 65–75 years) using MyotonPRO device. Results: In general, there are...

Background: Asymmetrical foot posture and properties alterations of the gastrocnemius muscle (GM) Achilles tendon (AT) were observed in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). We aimed to investigate inter-limbs asymmetries GM AT explore association between them. Methods: A total 62 subjects with unilateral or bilateral KOA included this study: 30 patients pain 32 assigned group (BG) (UG), respectively. The relatively serious leg (RSL) moderate (RML) judged according severity symptoms assessed by using...
