Using an ultrasound-based kinematic recording system, trunkal and shoulder sway was measured during sitting and standing in different conditions. High-resolution MRI scans were acquired in the cerebellar patients. Voxel-wise statistical lesion symptom mapping was performed to compare lesioned areas ...

The researchers studied 22 healthy volunteers with no history of back pain or surgery. A “positional” MRI machine was used, which allows patients freedom of motion—such as sitting or standing—during imaging. Traditional scanners have required patients to lie flat, which may mask causes of pai...
10 men; 45–75 years). Participants completed MRI scans of their brains as well as the International Physical Activity Questionnaire to measure physical activity, including the average number of hours spent sitting per day. The researchers found that the thickness of the Medial Temporal ...
Each patient underwent a thorough history, physical examination, chart review, and MRI imaging of the lumbosacral spine. Selection criteria included a diagnosis of chronic musculoskeletal LBP of greater than 3 months duration, with maximal pain located in the lumbosacral region. As the purpose of ...
Fig. 2. MRI studies: (a) a drawing of a subject sitting in the Open-MRI space. The MR images were performed in the coronal plane (coronal to the body), and subsequently, strain and stress calculations were made. (b) Scheme of the imaging configuration (left frame) and the water bag...
METHODS All subjects had X-ray studies performed in slump sitting (Si), upright standing (U), flexion (F), extension (E) and supine MRI (Su). Slip parameters were measured on all the sagittal images. Maximal translational and angular range of motion (ROM) was determined by comparing slip...
by an asymmetrical upright posture due to weight-bearing control and balance loss on the affected side [5]. Moreover, asymmetric posture affects gait patterns, which limit slow and independent gait [6]. Therefore, they tend to experience difficulty in achieving balance when standing or sitting. ...
