A randomized controlled trial of the effects of isolated lumbar extension exercise on lumbar kinematic pattern variability during gait in chronic low back pain

Steel, James; Bruce-Low, Stewart; Smith, Dave; Jessop, David; Osborne, Neil (PM&R, 2016)

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a multifactorial condition with a variety of symptoms, one of which is abnormal gait. The lumbar spine and its musculature are important in controlling gait, and in CLBP the ...
Determining the reliability of a custom built seated stadiometry set-up for measuring spinal height in participants with chronic low back pain

Steele, James; Bruce-Low, Stewart; Smith, Dave; Jessop, David; Osborne, Neil (Applied Ergonomics, 2016)

Indirect measurement of disc hydration can be obtained through measures of spinal height using stadiometry. However, specialised stadiometers for this are often custom-built and expensive. Generic wall-mounted stadiometers ...
Isolated lumbar extension resistance training improves strength, pain, and disability, but not spinal height or shrinkage ("creep") in participants with chronic low back pain

Steele, James; Bruce-Low, Stewart; Smith, Dave; Jessop, David; Osborne, Neil (Cartilage, 2020)

Objective. Loss of disc height is commonly associated with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Isolated lumbar extension (ILEX) exercise for the lumbar extensors is recommended to treat CLBP and is suggested such exercise might ...
