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 ...
Does cervical lordosis change after spinal manipulation for non-specific neck pain? A prospective cohort study
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2015)
Background: The association between cervical lordosis (sagittal alignment) and neck pain is controversial. Further, it is unclear whether spinal manipulative therapy can change cervical lordosis. This study aimed to determine ...
Moving back: The radiation dose received from lumbar spine quantitative fluoroscopy compared to lumbar spine radiographs with suggestions for dose reduction
(Radiography, 2014)
Purpose: Quantitative fluoroscopy is an emerging technology for assessing continuous inter-vertebral motion in the lumbar spine, but information on radiation dose is not yet available. The purposes of this study were to ...
Does inter-vertebral range of motion increase after spinal manipulation? A prospective cohort study
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2014)
Background: Spinal manipulation for nonspecific neck pain is thought to work in part by improving inter-vertebral range of motion (IV-RoM), but it is difficult to measure this or determine whether it is related to clinical ...
Proportional lumbar spine inter-vertebral motion patterns: a comparison of patients with chronic, non-specific low back pain and healthy controls
(2014)
Introduction: Identifying biomechanical subgroups in chronic, non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) populations from inter-vertebral displacements has proven elusive. Quantitative fluoroscopy (QF) has excellent repeatability ...
Measurement of intervertebral motion using quantitative fluoroscopy: report of an international forum and proposal for use in the assessment of degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine
(Advances in Orthopedics, 2012)
Quantitative fluoroscopy (QF) is an emerging technology for measuring intervertebral motion patterns to investigate problem back pain and degenerative disc disease. This International Forum was a networking event of three ...
An objective spinal motion imaging assessment (OSMIA): reliability, accuracy and exposure data
(BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2006)
Background:
Minimally-invasive measurement of continuous inter-vertebral motion in clinical settings is difficult to achieve. This paper describes the reliability, validity and radiation exposure levels in a new Objective ...
