Journal ArticleDOI
ISB recommendation on definitions of joint coordinate system of various joints for the reporting of human joint motion—part I: ankle, hip, and spine
Ge Wu,Sorin Siegler,Paul Allard,Chris Kirtley,Alberto Leardini,Dieter Rosenbaum,Mike Whittle,Darryl D. D'Lima,Luca Cristofolini,Hartmut Witte,Oskar Schmid,Ian A. F. Stokes +11 more
TL;DR: The Standardization and Terminology Committee (STC) of the International Society of Biomechanics proposes definitions of JCS for the ankle, hip, and spine, and suggests that adopting these standards will lead to better communication among researchers and clinicians.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are animal models useful for studying human disc disorders/degeneration?
Mauro Alini,Stephen M. Eisenstein,Keita Ito,Christopher B. Little,Annette Kettler,Koichi Masuda,James Melrose,James Robert Ralphs,Ian A. F. Stokes,Hans-Joachim Wilke +9 more
TL;DR: Although animal models are invaluable to increase the understanding of disc biology, care must be taken when used to study human disc degeneration and much more effort is needed to facilitate research on human disc material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Jack C. Y. Cheng,René M. Castelein,Winnie C.W. Chu,Aina J. Danielsson,Aina J. Danielsson,Matthew B. Dobbs,Theodoros B Grivas,Christina A. Gurnett,Keith D. K. Luk,Alain Moreau,Peter O. Newton,Peter O. Newton,Ian A. F. Stokes,Stuart L. Weinstein,R Geoffrey Burwell +14 more
TL;DR: Both the prevention of AIS and the treatment of its direct underlying cause are not possible, because the definite aetiology and aetiopathogenetic mechanisms that underlie AIS are still unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional terminology of spinal deformity. A report presented to the Scoliosis Research Society by the Scoliosis Research Society Working Group on 3-D terminology of spinal deformity.
TL;DR: A rationalized system for describing the shape of the spine is proposed that recognizes the 3-dimensional nature of scoliosis and other spinal deformities and is intended to rationalize communication in both research and clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of abdominal muscle coactivation on lumbar spine stability.
TL;DR: These analyses provide estimates of the effects of antagonistic abdominal muscle coactivation, indicating that its probable role is to stabilize the spine.
