Cross-sectional study. ⋯ Participants with LBP showed trunk postural and movement adaptations that seems to be compensatory strategies to decrease the risk of further injuries and aggravation of the symptoms, but their ability to regain the balance was not affected by LBP. Clinicians should encourage patients with LBP to remain active while they are experiencing pain.

Comparative Study
Comparative analysis of clinical outcomes and complications in patients with degenerative scoliosis undergoing primary versus revision surgery.
Retrospective cohort analysis of prospectively collected data. ⋯ Revision patients achieved the same radiographical and clinical outcomes as primary patients. The complication rates were similar between primary and revision patients. Revision patients benefit from surgery just as much as primary patients at 2-year follow-up.
-
Retrospective medical record review. ⋯ Anterior lumbar interbody fusion via a midline incision and a retroperitoneal approach was associated with 37% overall rate of complication. Patients with a history of abdominal or pelvic surgery are at a higher risk of developing general, instrumentation, and anterior approach-related complications.

This was a prospective clinical validation study. ⋯ 3.

This is a prospective case-control study. ⋯ This study confirms that even at the initial visit, 3D morphological differences exist between P and NP AIS. It supports the use of 3D reconstructions of the spine in the initial evaluation of AIS to help predict outcome.
