Rollback Imaging as a Useful Tool in the Preoperative Evaluation of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures
Introduction: When surgery is performed for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, the extent to which kyphosis can be corrected by the intraoperative position of the body is often determined by preoperative radiography in the extension position.

Reproducibility and agreement between three positions for handgrip assessment
The protocol established for taking hand grip dynamometry measurements determines that the patient must be in a sitting position. This protocol cannot be applied due to the patient’s conditions in some cases, such as abdominal surgery, musculoskeletal ...

The role of agonist and antagonist muscles in explaining isometric knee extension torque variation with hip joint angle. [PDF]
PURPOSE: The biarticular rectus femoris (RF), operating on the ascending limb of the force-length curve, produces more force at longer lengths. However, experimental studies consistently report higher knee extension torque when supine (longer RF length ...

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the supine position: Initial experience at Yashoda Hospital [PDF]
Objectives: To assess the feasibility of performing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with the patient supine. Although PCNL with the patient prone is the standard technique for treating large (>2 cm) renal stones including staghorn stones, we ...

Effects of an elevated position on time to tracheal intubation by novice intubators using Macintosh laryngoscopy or videolaryngoscopy: randomized crossover trial [PDF]
Objective To investigate the time to tracheal intubation using Glidescope videolaryngoscopy (GVL) compared to that of standard laryngoscopy, by using a Macintosh blade (SLM) in a human patient simulator in supine and elevated (ramped) positions.

Great Vessel Excursion: Prone Versus Supine Position [PDF]
It is theorized that pedicle screws could be placed into the anterior vertebral cortex to increase biomechanical strength by 20% to 25%. Although stereotactic navigational tools allow for accurate docking of spinal implants, no data exist regarding operative positioning as it relates to great vessel alignment.
