Following an ankle sprain, clinical examination often reveals dorsiflexion pain, which has been implicated as a risk factor for recurrent sprains; however, the mechanism of pain not explored. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we evaluated relationship between limited range motion due to and position talus. We investigated whether anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) tear affected dorsiflexion. reviewed 36 medical records MRI images outpatients diagnosed with lateral sprain. The data...
Because we have a clinical impression that elderly patients low back pain while in motion and standing, but less when sitting, investigate characteristics of nonspecific (NSLBP), using new detailed visual analog scale (VAS) scoring system. One hundred eighty-nine with NSLBP were divided into an group (≥65 years old, n = 56) young (<65 133). Low was evaluated by traditional VAS system, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), system which is independently three different postural situations (in...
Abstract Purpose The diagnosis of adolescent lumbar spondylolysis typically requires computed tomography (CT) imaging; however, concerns regarding medical radiation exposure have emerged. With recent advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it has become possible to acquire CT-like images using an MR bone approach. This study aimed investigate whether can be utilised as a substitute for CT evaluating the fracture line patients with spondylolysis. Methods We included 24 (28 levels)...
Retrospective, single-center, observational study. To evaluate the diagnostic reliability of magnetic resonance (MR) Bone Imaging in stage classification adolescent lumbar spondylolysis, assessing its clinical applicability as an alternative to computed tomography (CT). The diagnosis spondylolysis typically requires CT; however, concerns regarding medical radiation exposure have been raised. With recent advancements imaging (MRI) technology, MR bone has developed, enabling acquisition...
In Brief Study Design. Retrospective comparative cohort study. Objective. To elucidate the characteristics of low back pain (LBP) in adolescent patients with early-stage spondylolysis (ESS). Summary Background Data. ESS is a common cause acute LBP adolescents. When treating ESS, early diagnosis important; however, difficult without magnetic resonance imaging. Methods. Adolescent (n = 77) showing no pathological findings on plain radiography were included (<1 m after onset). Patients divided...
Objectives: This study investigated the association between myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) and clinical subsets of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) in Japanese patients. Methods: Twenty-one patients at a single center who developed initial or relapsed JDM from 2011 to 2016 were analyzed. Serum concentrations MSAs against TIF1-γ, MDA5, NXP2, Mi-2, ARS, SAE measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Clinical symptoms laboratory data obtained records. characteristics compared with...
[Purpose] This study aimed to develop a culturally adapted Japanese version of the Pain Understanding and Confidence Questionnaire (PUnCQ). The first-factor structure describes management from 12 perspectives for case vignette chronic pain determines whether is based on biomedical or biopsychosocial perspective. second-factor evaluates confidence level in skills same 21 perspectives. [Participants Methods] We conducted cross-cultural adaptation five stages according Beaton's guidelines (two...
This study aimed to elucidate low-back pain (LBP) characteristics, i.e., its qualities, extent, and location, in patients with early-stage spondylolysis (ESS).We recruited (≤18 years old) who presented acute LBP lasting up 1 month. Patients were divided into ESS nonspecific (NS-LBP) groups based on their magnetic resonance imaging findings; showing no pathological findings that might explain the cause of classified as NS-LBP. All evaluated using following tests: hyperextension hyperflexion...
Resistance of de Quervain's disease to conservative treatment has been associated with an intertendinous septum in the first compartment. This study aimed investigate relationship between septum's presence or absence, internal pressure and wrist positon Fourteen arms were obtained from seven fresh frozen cadavers. A sensor was inserted into compartment; if a present, abductor pollicis longus (APL) side extensor brevis (EPB) side, respectively. Three positions also tested: neutral, 45°...
Resistance of de Quervain’s disease to conservative treatment has been associated with an intertendinous septum in the first compartment; little is known about histological features such a septum. This study aimed examine histologically and note its variations. After dissecting extensor compartment 24 hands from 12 fresh frozen cadavers, presence any septa was determined. The length retinaculum measured; findings or without were studied compared those third/fourth compartment. Intertendinous...
Introduction Wearable trackers are instrumental in monitoring various health indicators, notably daily physical activity, which is crucial for managing chronic diseases and improving overall health. This study examined the relationship between activity levels measured using JINS MEME, an eyeglass-type wearable device equipped with motion sensors, subjective assessments reported through International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Methods Healthy volunteers aged 20-60 were recruited...
