Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
Axial and Appendicular Muscles01:18

Axial and Appendicular Muscles

Skeletal muscles, the key players in our body's movement, can be classified into two groups based on their location and function: axial muscles and appendicular muscles. These classifications reflect the primary roles the muscles play in the body's structure and movement.
Axial Muscles
Axial muscles, situated along the body's midline, are intricately connected to the axial skeleton, which includes the skull, spine, ribs, and sternum. These muscles facilitate facial expressions and play a...
Overview of the Axial Skeleton01:09

Overview of the Axial Skeleton

The skeleton is subdivided into two major divisions—the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton forms the vertical, central axis of the body. It includes all of the bones of the head, neck, chest, and back. It protects the brain, spinal cord, heart, and lungs. It also serves as the attachment site for muscles that move the head, neck, and back and for muscles that act across the shoulder and hip joints to move their corresponding limbs.
The axial skeleton of the adult...
Articulations of the Vertebral Column01:28

Articulations of the Vertebral Column

In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...
Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius01:09

Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius

The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a short...
Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Scoliosis surgery advancements have overshadowed conservative orthopedic treatments.
  • Maintaining spinal mobility while stabilizing scoliosis is a key treatment objective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the Lyon Brace management, a comprehensive conservative scoliosis treatment.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of this multi-modal approach in correcting spinal deformities.

Main Methods:

  • The Lyon Brace management integrates three techniques: plaster cast reduction on an Elongation Derotation Flexion (EDF) frame, contention with a custom-molded Lyon Brace, and specific physiotherapy.
  • Customization utilizes electronic "full 3D imaging" by Orten, with specific blueprints for each Lenke classification type.
  • Physiotherapy includes deformity awareness, stretching, strengthening, respiratory exercises, and proprioceptive training.

Main Results:

  • Long-term follow-up shows a global effectiveness of 0.89, with a 50% reduction in rib hump.
  • Surgical intervention was prevented in 98% of patients with Cobb angles less than 45 degrees.
  • The treatment is ambulatory and accepted by 60% of French families.

Conclusions:

  • The Lyon Brace management is a highly effective conservative treatment for scoliosis.
  • This approach successfully corrects spinal curves, improves rib deformities, and avoids surgery in a significant majority of cases.
  • The combination of orthopedic bracing and specialized physiotherapy offers a viable alternative to surgical intervention.
