This study examines whether people with ankylosing spondylitis (a condition causing spine inflammation and stiffness) develop nerve damage in their arms and legs. Understanding this connection may help doctors better care for patients with this condition.
This study examines how multiple sclerosis affects your spine alignment, flexibility, and balance. Understanding these changes may help develop better physical therapies and support for people living with MS.
This study examines how neck position awareness, core strength, and balance are affected in university students with Upper Crossed Syndrome—a posture problem involving forward head position and rounded shoulders. The research may help identify better treatments for chronic neck pain linked to poor posture.
