4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the restoration of the sagittal balance and the improvement of the Quality of Life for patients with adult scoliosis, treated with a polyaxial system (PASS® LP system) during the 2 years after a spinal fusion surgery.
The purpose of this study is to measure functional activity and stability in spinal deformity patients utilizing motion analysis testing and accelerometers.
This study evaluates the difference in postoperative bleeding between two study groups, FDA cleared MONTAGE Settable Resorbable Hemostatic Bone Putty and standard of care (no bone hemostat) during pedicle subtraction osteotomy procedures.
Surgical intervention may provide pain relief and improvement in function but one area of significant clinical interest is the restoration/improvement in gait and functional balance. Based on the investigators knowledge, there is limited literature on biomechanics and neuromuscular control of the lower extremities and spine as assessed by objective gait analysis and balance strategies in adult degenerative scoliosis patients, pre and post surgical intervention. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of spinal deformity on the biomechanics and neuromuscular control of the lower and upper extremities, and also investigate the impact of surgery on these functions as evaluated by gait and balance analyses using dynamic EMG, video motion capture and force plate analysis and also to compare these patients with healthy controls to better evaluate the extent of limitations before and after surgery.
