Hello I'm new to this forum and think it's a great idea!
I would need help for a short text it's for a thesis project in "ostéopathie". An experiment that we would like to present in english... Could someone help me? Here is the text...

Notre expérimentation a pour but de démontrer que la libération de la base du crâne et de C0/C1/C2 de ses lésions intra et interosseuses normalise la position de la tête dans un plan sagittal.

L'objectif de notre étude est de décompacter des structures clefs de la base du crâne et de C0/C1/C2 et d'analyser les changements de la position de la tête sur une vue sagittale. 81 hommes âgés entre 25 et 45 ans ont participés à l'étude (moyenne d'âge: 34 +/- 5 ans). Ils ont tous en commun un travail assis à 50% et plus de leur journée, étant donné que la littérature mentionne que les positions assises prolongées encouragent la protraction cervicale. L'étude est une recherche expérimentale à double aveugle. 40 sujets ont fait partie du groupe expérimental et 41 sujets on fait partie du groupe témoin de façon aléatoire. Dans le groupe expérimental, les sujets reçoivent un traitement en ostéopathie avec un protocole visant à décompacter la zone choisie alors que dans le groupe témoin, les sujets reçoivent un traitement placebo. Dans un premier temps, chaque participant a reçu une évaluation objective par une analyse posturale biomécanique dans un plan sagittal avec une caméra numérique, dans le but de mesurer l'angle entre le tragus de l'oreille et l'acromion. Des marqueurs ont été installés sur les repères anatomiques pour permettre à la caméra de capter le signal. Les données sont analysées par le logiciel de Biotonix. Le protocole de Biotonix est appliqué par une tierce personne qui est spécialiste du système. Dans le but de préciser nos données, trois prises de photo ont été faites. La moyenne des données a été utilisée pour l'analyse des résultats. Dans la posture idéale étable par Kendall, cet angle est à 0 dégré.

Cette évaluation se fait dans trois temps soit: en pré-traitement (A), en post-traitement (B) et en re-test (C) (une semaine plus tard). Après chaque évaluation Biotonix, une évaluation subjective à l'aveugle est effectuée par un deuxième thérapeute à l'aide d'une grille d'évaluation. Les sujets ont été revus une semaine plus tard pour être évalués de façon identique. Cette visite a eu pour objectif de mesurer l'effet du traitement dans le temps. Les données recueillies, sur les angles de tête, ont permi d'établir une relation entre la libération de la base du crâne et C1-C2, de ses compactions et la tendance à la normalisation de la position de la tête dans un plan sagittal. Donc, les résultats statistiques confirment notre hypothèse de recherche. Les sujets du groupe expérimental ont eu un effet significatif par rapport au groupe témoin avec le student-test entre les temps pré-test et re-test, alors qu'il n'y a eu aucun effet des 2 groupes entre les temps pré-traitement et post-traitement. Ceci est intéressant, car cela nous permet d'observer que l'effet du traitement ostéopathique, dans ce cas-ci, en décompaction atteint sont apogée à moyen terme par rapport au groupe contrôle. Dans l'élaboration de notre rédaction, nous avons voulu approfondir notre recherche sur la matière osseuse étant donné l'orientation donnée à notre sujet et l'abscence de littérature sur les compactions intra et inter-osseuses. La revue littéraire de la position de la tête dans un plan sagittal a poussé notre intérêt pour une meilleure compréhension de la posture idéale et nous a orienté dans les standards d'évaluation. Les liens embryologiques et anatomiques ont aussi été décrits pour mieux comprendre les motifs de notre démarche expérimentale.


Ouff!!! that is a little long I must admit. But I would really appreciate some help with it since There are so many specific terms...

Thanks in advance to whoever will help!!!!!

Here is what I have done up 'til now... Please let me know what you might think about it!
thanks!

«The goal of our experiment is to demonstrate that liberating the base of the cranium and C0/C1/C2 from intraosseous and interosseous lesions will normalize the head’s positioning in a sagittal plane.

Our study’s objective is to decompact the key structures of the cranium’s base and of C0/C1/C2 and then analyze the changes of the head’s position on a sagittal plane. Eighty-one (81) men between the age of 25 and 45 have participated with the average age being 34 give or take five years. Since literature mentions that prolonged sitting positions encourage cervical protraction, our subjects had a sitting work position 50% or more of the time. Our study is an experimental double-blind research. The 81 subjects were randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (40) and the control group (41). As the experimental group received an osteopathy treatment using a protocol for the decompaction the chosen zone, the other group received a placebo treatment. A digital camera (CANON A70) was used to perform a biomechanical postural analysis within a first objective evaluation of each participant to measure the angle between the ear’s tragus and the acromion. Markers were installed on anatomical points of reference thus allowing the camera to sense the signal. The Biotonix software then analyzes this data. The Biotonix protocol is applied by a third party, which specializes in this system (appendix 1). In order to obtain precise data, three pictures were taken in three different angles, the average of the three was then used to analyze the results. 0º would be the angle of an ideal posture as established by Kendall.

This evaluation is conducted in three phases: first the pre-treatment (A), then the post-treatment (B) and finally a re-test a week later (C). After each Biotonix evaluation, a second therapist performs a subjective evaluation with the help of an evaluation grid. The participants were called in a week later for an identical evaluation. The objective of this visit was to measure the treatment’s effect in time.

here is the rest of what I have done for the text. Can anyone tell me if this is any good?
Thanks!

«The collected data concerning the heads’ angles allowed to establish a relation between the liberation of the base of the cranium and C1-C2 of its compactions and the normalizing of the head’s position in a sagittal plane. Therefore the statistic results confirm our hypothesis. Those who participated in the experimental group demonstrated a significant effect (P < 0,05) compared to the results obtained with the control group’s student test between the pre-test and re-test (A-C). Both groups however showed no changes between pre-testing and post-testing (A-B). This is interesting and goes to show that the effect of the osteopathic treatment, decompaction in this case, reaches its highest point of efficiency in the medium term compared to the control group. In the elaboration of our report, we have wanted to go deeper in our research of the osseous structure because of the orientation of our subject and the lack of literature on intraosseous and interosseous compactions. The literary review of the head’s position in a sagittal plane awakened our interest in a better comprehension of the ideal posture and oriented our evaluation standards. The embryological and anatomical relations have also been described for a better understanding of our experimental motives.»

Voici mes corrections pour la première partie de ton texte... en espérant que je n'en laisse pas trop passer

FD a fait une chouette traduction, vraiment, mais voici quelques petites suggestions:

participated to this study = participated in this study

Ils ont tous en commun un travail assis à 50% et plus de leur journée, étant donné que la littérature mentionne que les positions assises prolongées encouragent la protraction cervicale.
Because the literature mentions that prolonged sitting positions contribute to cervical protraction, all subjects selected worked in a sitting position for at least 50% of their workday.
Our study is an experimental double-blind research.= Our study is a double-blind experiment.
As the experimental group received an osteopathy = The experimental group received an osteopathy (il n'est pas necessaire d'ajouter le mot "as")
Les données sont analysées par le logiciel de Biotonix. = The data were then analyzed using the Biotonix software.

thank you both for your corrections! It was very helpful!
Was the second half of my text good?

Voilà la fin en espérant que j'en ai oublié le moins possible
