“…A team of authors have been working on a theory of the scoliotic deformity development with different length of the lower limbs [2,[7][8][9][10]. According to the theory, the anatomical shortening of the shin and/or thigh bones on one side leads to an oblique position of the pelvis, followed by the displacement of the sacrum and consequently the entire vertebral column.…”

The article deals with the analysis of the correlation between the anatomical shortening of the lower limb and the formation of a scoliotic curve. Despite the fact that the subject matter lacks sufficient research, an attempt is made to consider the data of domestic and foreign scientific studies that shed light on the issue. Within the framework of data analysis in an independent study of a group of 47 patients with shortening of the lower limb combined with vertebral scoliotic deformity, 4 different types of compensatory deformities of the spine were determined. Variants of possible correction were suggested depending on the type and complexity of the deformity. The conducted study stresses the importance of further theoretical and practical development of the subject matter and improvement of therapeutic and preventive measures for scoliosis.

“…The exclusion criteria included abnormalities or injuries to the musculoskeletal system that affect walking, such as asymmetrical leg length or scoliosis, etc. [21]; neurological disorders; using medications that affect walking and balance [22]; alcoholic beverages consumption within 24 hours before the test, and visual problems that have not been corrected or require using bifocal lenses.…”

Objectives: There exists no study concerning gait pattern while engaging in dual-task activities on different sizes of mobile devices. The present study aimed to compare gait patterns during normal walking, walking with smartphone use, and walking with tablet use. Methods: Seventeen healthy female participants with an age range of 19-24 years (Mean±SD age: 20.29±1.61 years, weight: 49.82±4.46 kg, height: 156.59±4.87 cm, body mass index: 20.47±0.84 kg/m2, and leg length: 81.35±3.79 cm.) participated in the present research. The study subjects were requested to walk for 10 meters under the following conditions: normal walking; walking while typing a text message with a smartphone, and walking while typing a text message with a tablet. The Vicon® Three-Dimensional (3D) motion analysis recorded the motion of reflective markers attached to the study participant’s body. Gait parameters (step length, stride length, step time, stride time, step width, velocity, and cadence) were compared between the explored walking conditions. Results: The gait parameter of normal walking, compared with walking during smartphone use as well as tablet use were significantly different in the gait pattern (P<0.05). Using either a smartphone or tablet during walking presented decreased step length for legs, gait velocity, and cadence. However, there was an increase in the right leg’s step time and stride time. Moreover, there was no significant difference in gait patterns between walking during smartphone use and walking during tablet use (P>0.05). Discussion: Changes in gait pattern during walking while typing a text message with either a smartphone or tablet may lead to greater attention and concentration required to type the message; such actions resulted in decreased gait speed and step length.

Objectives Recently the effects of coronal malalignment (CM) in degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) have been reported, however, there was few studies on the correlated parameters of coronal alignments at pre‐operation. The aims of this current study were to investigate the associations of coronal parameters with scoliosis and coronal alignment, and to explore the relationships between the coronal pelvic tilt and coronal alignment in DLS. Methods One hundred and sixty‐one DLS patients in our hospital from May 2016 to December 2020 were reviewed and documented. The coronal balance distance (CBD, the offset between the center of C7 and the plumb line drawn from the center of S1), major Cobb (MC), fractional Cobb (FC), L4 coronal tilt, L5 coronal tilt, coronal pelvic tilt, apical rotation, and the vertebras in major curve were measured and documented. CM was considered if the CBD ≥ 30mm. All of those participants were assigned into group A (CBD ≥ 30 mm) and group B (CBD < 30 mm). Comparisons of demographic and radiographic data were performed between groups A and B. Pearson correlation and further multiple regression with stepwise method analysis were used to investigate those coronal parameters correlated to MC and CBD, respectively. Results Thirty‐one patients suffering from CM were assigned into group A, and the rest of 130 patients were assigned to group B accordingly. Then the incidence of CM was about 19.3% (31/161). Patients in group A had less vertebras in the main curve ( P = 0.009), however, the apical rotation ( P < 0.001) and the L4 coronal tilt ( P = 0.007) were much larger. Although the MC ( P = 0.426) and FC ( P = 0.06) had no difference between the two groups, the match between MC and FC was much smaller ( p = 0.021) in group A. The coronal pelvic tilt correlated significantly with FC ( r = 0.552, p < 0.001), but mildly with MC ( r = −0.366, p < 0.001), L4 coronal tilt ( r = 0.348, p < 0.001), and L5 coronal tilt ( r = 0.351, p < 0.001), respectively. The CBD correlated strongly with L4 coronal tilt ( r = −0.471, p < 0.001) and L5 coronal tilt ( r = −0.468, p < 0.001), respectively, but mildly with FC ( r = −0.255, p = 0.016). Further multiple regression analysis revealed that only L4 coronal tilt was the independent factor for MC ( r 2 = 0.549, p < 0.001) and CBD ( r 2 ...
