Numerous experimental studies on lumbar spine response and stability to static loads, especially in the physiological range of motion, have been reported in the literature, both for flexion, extension ...

We hypothesized that the patients who have extension limitation might have postural stability deficit with flexion direction ... While goniometer was used for cervical range of motion, pedalo ...

Knowledge of lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD ... to map changes in stress distribution within the IVD during simulated flexion-distraction treatment of cadaveric motion segments from L2- 3 to L5-S1.

Abstract: A custom-designed multi-axis spine machine was used to test cadaveric three-vertebra two-disc motion segments until failure, 13 in combined flexion-anterior shear and six in flexion only ...

Measures of stature, mass, sitting height, sexual maturity (Tanner self assessment), lateral flexion of the spine, lumbar sagittal plane mobility (modified Schöber), hip range of motion (Leighton ...

There was painful limited range of motion during extension of the spine; anterior flexion was only slightly painful. The pain was again located on the right side (paravertebral) and on palpation of ...
