Premium spine and pain care right right in your backyard.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 I'm thrilled to announce that my latest research paper, in collaboration with the UCSD School of Medicine Orthopedics Department and SpineZone, has been published! This study focuses on the effectiveness of exercise-based rehabilitation for individuals with lumbar spinal stenosis, one of the most debilitating sources of spine pain. Our study assessed the impact of physical therapy across 1,806 patients with mild, moderate, and severe stenosis. Notably, we found that exercise-based rehabilitation is just as effective for those with severe stenosis as it is for those with milder cases. This challenges the common assumption that severe cases require immediate surgical intervention. Highlights from our findings: Significant improvements in pain, disability, strength, and patient goal achievement across all stenosis severity groups. We believe this research will contribute to shaping future treatments and improving quality of life for patients with spine-related issues. 📝 Read the full paper here: [Link: https://lnkd.in/gA7qGzZS] A big thank you to everyone involved in this project! Looking forward to continuing to advance orthopedic care and rehabilitation practices. #Orthopedics #SpineHealth #PhysicalTherapy #SpinalStenosis #Research #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #UCSD #SpineZone

In March 2024, NHS England published twelve new service specifications defining the scope and function of clinical networks in different fields, including cardiology, intensive care, nephrology, neurosurgery, and orthopedics. Clinical networks allow specialty-level collaboration between patients, providers, and commissioners and play a vital role in coordinating pathways of care, supporting equitable access to healthcare, and assuring and improving quality: https://lnkd.in/dJC8RFn9

"Exciting developments in healthcare are transforming patient rehabilitation! From orthopedics to neurology, hospitals are integrating innovative robotics like the Clinical models of Syrebo hand rehab. These advancements offer tailored solutions for patients recovering from hand injuries or neurological conditions, optimizing therapy outcomes. By combining technology with clinical expertise, we're redefining rehabilitation standards and empowering patients on their journey to recovery. Embracing these cutting-edge tools reflects our commitment to delivering personalized, effective care in every department. #HealthcareInnovation #RoboticRehabilitation #PatientRecovery"

As much as we know about the hip in #cerebralpalsy (CP), there are still many gaps in the literature. At Nemours duPont Campus, our team has been working to fill those gaps. Our most recent efforts investigate the risk of progressive hip displacement after skeletal maturity, and when can we safely stop radiographic surveillance. It was long thought that hip surveillance x-rays could be stopped after skeletal maturity (i.e, triradiate cartilage closure, TCC) but our studies showed that, for both non-ambulatory and ambulatory CP, the risk of hip displacement is still a concern, with over 20% experiencing progression even after this point. The primary risk factor was a higher migration percentage at TCC (>35% and >28%, respectively), along with the presence of pelvic obliquity, epilepsy, and bilateral involvement.

Gluteal Compartment Syndrome (GCS) is a rare but serious condition often overlooked in trauma cases. A case study in 'Case Reports in Orthopedics' highlights a 70-year-old man's battle with GCS following pelvic trauma. The study underscores the urgency of #earlydiagnosis and the complexity of managing such cases, leading to significant challenges including sciatic nerve palsy and #kidneyfailure. It's a reminder of the critical role of rapid intervention in trauma care. How can early recognition and rapid response to symptoms of Gluteal Compartment Syndrome enhance recovery outcomes in trauma patients?   https://lnkd.in/efEi6JCe    #medtech #medicalinnovation #SentinelpH #traumacare

#Concussions are traumatic brain injuries that can lead to negative effects on one’s balance, daily function, memory, and concentration. With over 1.7 million concussions occurring each year from sports and recreational activities alone, it is vital to accurately assess the effects of the concussion to properly treat the symptoms.    After a concussion, a healthcare professional performs a neurological exam to evaluate any concerns with #balance. Postural #AdaptationTest is performed in our Fall Prevention and Balance Lab, in which a patient’s balance is tested through unexpected shifts in the ground to mimic unstable surfaces. This test can provide clinicians with data to best assess patients’ balance post-concussion and develop appropriate treatments accordingly.    #URochesterResearch #MotionAnalysis #Biomechanics #BiomedicalEngineering #BME #SportsMedicine #ConcussionRecovery #FallPrevention #PatientCare University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry University of Rochester BME (Biomedical Engineering) American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) 

This first edition of Current Clinical Recommendations and Application for Use of Platelet Rich Plasma is written by many of the leading scientists and clinicians who have been responsible for the dramatic progress in platelet rich plasma use. The purpose of the book is to deal with all aspects of its usage areas. The authors have met the expectation that practice guidelines be based either on convincing available evidence or on consensus statements of authoritative organizations. The book will be useful for dermatologists, obstetricians, urologists, orthopedics, physical therapy, and rehabilitation specialists. https://lnkd.in/eBUHVauJ #newbook #medicine #health
