Comparative Study
Optimum pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis value after operation for patients with adult degenerative scoliosis.
Schwab classification for adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) concluded that health-related quality of life was closely related to curve type and three sagittal modifiers. It was suggested that pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis value (PI-LL) should be corrected within -10°~+10°. However, recent studies also indicated that ideal clinical outcomes could also be achieved in patients without the ideal PI-LL mentioned above. ⋯ Optimal PI-LL value may be achieved between 10° and 20° in Chinese patients with ADS after long posterior instrumentation and fusion surgery with excellent clinical outcomes and a lower PJK occurrence.

The relationship between sedentary lifestyle and low back pain (LBP) remains unclear and previous research has not accounted for genetic and early environmental factors. ⋯ Sedentary behavior is associated with concurrent LBP. However, this association is weak; it only appears in females and decreases when accounting for genetics. Future studies using a twin design with larger samples should be conducted to further test these findings.

Comparative Study
Cognitive representations in low back pain in patients receiving chiropractic versus physiotherapy treatment.
This study focused on cognitive representations of low back pain patients receiving chiropractic ( n = 213) versus physiotherapy treatment ( n = 125). Variables assessed included satisfaction with care, illness perceptions, beliefs about pain and medicines, attitudes towards doctors and medicine, suffering, adherence and functional incapacity. ⋯ The groups differed on all cognitive variables assessed. Interventions should take into consideration cognitive dimensions, across treatment modalities.
