A randomized controlled trial of the effects of isolated lumbar extension exercise on lumbar kinematic pattern variability during gait in chronic low back pain
(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 ... -
Randomized controlled trial on the effect of partially hydrolyzed guar gum supplementation on diarrhea frequency and gut microbiome count among pelvic radiation patients
(Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2021-11-23)Background: Radiation therapy is the treatment of pelvic cancers, with diarrhea often being the most frequent acute side effect. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) usage in ... -
Re-stabilization of an unstable lumbosacral segment in a patient with chronic back pain: A case report
(EC Orthopaedics, 2021)Background: Spinal instability is poorly understood. This case report describes the re-stabilization of an unstable vertebral motion segment in a patient with chronic low back pain. Case Presentation: A 50-year-old ... -
Recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals in rural Canada: A systematic review
(Canadian Journal of Rural Medicine, 2020)Introduction: This review explores a pertinent issue for healthcare professionals and recruiters alike: which factors are most important in the recruitment and retention of these professionals in rural practice in Canada. ... -
The relationship between balance performance, lumbar extension strength, trunk extension endurance, and pain in participants with chronic low back pain, and those without
(Clinical Biomechanics, 2018)Background: Chronic low back pain is associated with lumbar extensor deconditioning. This may contribute to decreased neuromuscular control and balance. However, balance is also influenced by the hip musculature. Thus, the ... -
Relationships between features of emerging adulthood, situated decisions toward physical activity, and physical activity among college students: The moderating role of exercise-intensity tolerance
(International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, 2023-12-08)A significant portion of emerging adults do not achieve recommended levels of physical activity (PA). Previous studies observed associations between features of emerging adulthood and PA levels, while the potential ... -
Relationships between lumbar inter-vertebral motion and lordosis in healthy adult males: a cross sectional cohort study
(BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2016)Background: Intervertebral motion impairment is widely thought to be related to chronic back disability, however, the movements of inter-vertebral pairs are not independent of each other and motion may also be related to ... -
Relationships between muscle electrical activity and the control of inter-vertebral motion during a forward bending task
(Journal of Electro - myography and Kinesiology, 2018)Muscle strengthening exercises are commonly used in primary care for the treatment of chronic, non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) as it has been theorised that increased muscle activity contributes to the stabilisation ... -
Relationships between paraspinal muscle activity and lumbar inter-vertebral range of motion
(Healthcare, 2016)Control of the lumbar spine requires contributions from both the active and passive sub-systems. Identifying interactions between these systems may provide insight into the mechanisms of low back pain. However, as a first ... -
Relationships between personality traits and disordered eating among Chinese female exercisers: the role of symptoms of exercise dependence and obsessive-compulsiveness
(Journal of Eating Disorders, 2022-11-17)Background: Although numerous studies have examined associations between personality traits and eating disorders in females, few studies have been conducted on female exercisers. Given the high risk of disordered eating ... -
Relationships between trunk muscle activation and thoraco-lumbar kinematics in non-specific chronic low back pain subgroups during a forward bending task
(Gait & Posture, 2024-01)Background: Trunk muscle activity and thoraco-lumbar kinematics can discriminate between non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) subgroups and healthy controls. However, research commonly focuses on lumbar kinematics, ... -
Reliability of diagnostic ultrasound in measuring the multifidus muscle
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2015)Background: Ultrasound is frequently used to measure activity in the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM). However previous reliability studies on diagnostic ultrasound and LMM have included a limited number of subjects and ... -
