Advanced Surgical Simulation Processes in the Correction of Skeletal Defects and Deformities
Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), Computer-Aided Surgical Simulation (CASS) for bone corrections, and the customization of implants and devices through 3D printing, known as Patient-Specific Instruments (PSI) and Graft-Specific Instruments (GSI), are assuming increasingly central roles in orthopedic clinical and surgical practice. One area witnessing notable advancement is the treatment of …
Vitamin D in School Children
The primary purpose of this study it to investigate total circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in school children (aged 4-11years) in Northern Ireland; thereby establishing the prevalence of vitamin D status (deficiency, insufficiency, and sufficiency (SACN 2016)) in this cohort. Additionally, the study aims to determine if 10µg/day vitamin D3 supplementation …
The Effects of AFO Heel Height and Stiffness on Gait
The proposed study evaluates the effect of ankle foot orthosis (AFO) heel height and stiffness on the forces and motion of the lower limb during over-ground walking in individuals who use an AFO for daily walking. Previous studies suggest that heel height and stiffness effect limb loading, but these data …

In the scoliosis screening program of the Student Health Service (SHS), Department of Health (DH), in Hong Kong, more than 50% of screened school children prescribed with x-ray examination basing on the screening protocol did not have Cobb angle greater than the referral threshold of 20°; ie they did not …
New Clinical Rehabilitation Approach for the Management of Falls Risks
Accidental falls in older adults are one of the world's major pubic health problem, because of their strong association with injuries and mortality rates. In Quebec, falls are responsible for a high rate of hospitalization (more than 1800 emergency department visits every day) and deaths (more than 10,000 in recent …
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Axial Spondyloarthritis
Although biologic therapy have revolutionized the treatment of Spondyloarthrtitis (SpA), many patients do not experience complete relief of SpA related complaints. It has been established that patients with SpA have an altered composition of microorganisms (microbiota) in the gut compared to healthy controls, and that this correlates to disease activity …
