If I could start another science career it would probably be on the microbiome. That and epigenetics are two incredibly exciting fields right now. But the microbiome and disease is extremely...

Thanks for the update! Unchanged for the 5 years he's been doing rotational strength training. Not bad! I know you have done a lot with melatonin and sleep and other things as well. Something appears...

The method is somewhat described in the J. Spine Disorder...

AMom is correct in that it wasn't really officially used in the study protocol because...

I guess I only think soft structures are in play where progression is involved. I suppose I'm somewhat agnostic when it comes to the etiology. But I can see that hypermobility would very easily...

Thanks for the input!

Been well enough :> Job market is tough. They shuttered GSK R&D. Academia wants you to come with an RO1 and teach eleventy hours/semester and industry wants you to have industry experience and to...

Hello!

Interesting development at the end of this specific thread topic.

I first came across Morningstar's work and development of CLEAR back in the day. And while I didn't like some of the...

Hello All!

Long time no post. I seem to creep back around towards the end of the year. And here I am. :)

The reason I'm here this year is that I am wanting to know if anyone has seen a scoli...

I had this experiment in my dissertation proposal. My committee removed it due to a number of logistical issues. But I have wanted to do this for at least a decade now... sigh


The standard...

I don't see how a side plank would be harmful. On the other hand, the amount of work they are talking about performing, i.e. hold the pose until exhaustion (~90seconds) once per day, would likely...

Sorry for missing this last year. Flerc alerted me to some discussions but I somehow missed this part after I clarified a point on a different thread (not sure which one). It's true, I don't come on...

Hi Flerc... Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this.

If I understand correctly, I think that is reasonably correct. The ligaments are definitely the primary static component that keeps...

Yep... All of what you mention is one main reason we chose to move here (the other reasons being grandparents in GSO and ATL). My wife is a scientist as well and has a sales position here. She's...

I'll add my endorsement of this study as well, for whatever that is worth. For anyone that doesn't know me, I am Kevin McIntire and I did a follow-up study to Mooney's initial trunk rotational...

Oh for sure. Teaching on the college level was the reason I wanted to go into grad school. I then fell in love with research as well. So a tenure track position was the way I wanted to go. Academia...

Yep..I'm doing fine, thanks! We've relocated to NC last summer, and I'm on the job hunt. There's not a lot in the muscle physiology area, although there is some. The job search is very humbling. Just...

Oh... okay, I think I see what happened... sort of. I forgot they published a 2007 paper. Conference proceedings.

I just rechecked the two original reports. There is no doubt in my mind that the...

Did something happen with this?

Check the link posted earlier... The paper is free to view. And it's not that long.

The baseline data has plenty of detail. There is a maturity scale as well as different curve types and whatnot....

This was stopped in January of this year?

It's kind of en vogue to stop a study once you achieve a desired p-value or CI. Big huge studies will try to do it. It gives the statisticians something...

They don't publish the curve characteristics at the end of treatment.... and that makes it in the NEJM.... I can not believe this....... They don't calculate any type of "curve-delta". If it's ok to...

Have you posted a full "How Scott is doing" post on here lately? I'm curious how things are going.

Just found this thread. I see that many of the things I sent to you are the same being said here. I'll stress again not to beat yourself up over this. And you are not alone through any of this. Your...

Hi there. I've been away for a while. Life and all of that... :> But let me take a stab at your questions.



This was done by the two orthopedic surgeons involved with the study so I'll be...

And here lies the problem. Clinicians (and researchers) are not informing their patients and families about the life of the curve. Partly because this information has been slow to confirm. But, OTOH,...
