Meta Analysis
Clinical Benefit of Rehabilitation Training in Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
A systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ Activity-based intervention like transcranial magnetic stimulation, functional electrical stimulation, and robotic-assisted treadmill training are effective in improving function in individuals with spinal cord injury.Level of Evidence: 1.
-
Retrospective case-control radiographic study. ⋯ Directionality of fractional curve relative to C7 PL was associated with postoperative coronal imbalance in DLS patients. In addition to type C, consistency pattern might be an independent risk factor for postoperative coronal imbalance.Level of Evidence: 3.
-
Prospective comparative study. ⋯ Our findings confirm the previous findings of literature regarding the alteration in gait patterns in scoliosis patients when compared to normal individuals. However, the lack of difference in gait analysis variables between AIS and congenital scoliosis patients suggests that this alteration in gait is secondary to the existence of the deformity and does not correlate with the onset or etiology of deformity.Level of Evidence: 2.

A retrospective study of 84 patients with spinal metastasis from prostate cancer (SMPCa) was performed. ⋯ The overall performance of the CNSP model was satisfactory and could be used to estimate the survival outcome of individual patients more precisely and thus help clinicians design more specific and individualized therapeutic regimens.Level of Evidence: 4.
