Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The relationship between gait pattern, spinal alignment and the level of upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) in surgically treated patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) has not been fully documented. Our study aimed to assess the effect of UIV level for the gait pattern and spinal alignment in ASD. Both UT and LT groups achieved similar improvement of gait ability and pattern after surgery. Additional studies will be needed to further define the effect of UIV for the activity of daily living such as fast walking, stepping the stairs, or standing from the chair in ASDs. Additionally, the patients with ASD had an asymmetric gait pattern and impaired gait ability compared with healthy volunteers. Gait ability correlated significantly with the GL, spinopelvic alignment, lower extremity joint ROM, and lean volume. The surgical correction of spinopelvic alignment and exercises to build muscle strength may improve the gait pattern and ability in patients with ASD.
