P22. How hip are we in assessing balance strategy? Utilization of a novel force analysis technique using a single force plate to simplify assessment of adult spinal deformity patient balance strategy reliance
Humans recruit a variety of coordination strategies to maintain upright posture while standing. These strategies arise from hip, knee and ankle torques which act in varying degrees over time to support vertical weight of the body and perturbations to balance. Prior studies suggest adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery results in reduced postural sway and effort; however, none have directly assessed patient's strategy reliance or determined if multilevel fusion affects balance control. Recently, a novel method to assess balance strategy reliance using only a force plate called force intersection point analysis (FIP) was deve...

Association Between Cervical Fracture Patterns and Blunt Cerebrovascular Injury When Screened with Computed Tomographic Angiography
Vertebral artery injury (VAI) is estimated to be present in upwards of 0.7% of all patients who sustain blunt trauma [1 –7], and in 19-39% of all cervical spine fractures. This is likely due to the close anatomic relationship between the cervical spine and the vertebral arteries. There has been significant interest in determining the risk factors for development of VAI and carotid artery injuries (CAI) because of t he potentially catastrophic outcomes in a missed posterior circulation stroke. If undetected blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI), which include both VAI and CAIs, have significant morbidity and mortality wit...
