Center of rotation locations during lumbar spine movements: a scoping review protocol
(JBI Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports, 2020)
Objective: The objective of this review is to identify and map current literature describing the center of rotation locations and migration paths during lumbar spine movements.
Introduction: The importance of lumbar ...
Dynamic interactions between lumbar intervertebral motion segments during forward bending and return
(Journal of Biomechanics, 2020)
Continuous dynamic multi-segmental studies of lumbar motion have added depth to our understanding of the biomechanics of back pain, but few have attempted to continuously measure the proportions of motion accepted by ...
An in-vivo study exploring correlations between early-to-moderate disc degeneration and flexion mobility in the lumbar spine
(European Spine Journal, 2020)
Purpose: Early disc degeneration (DD) has been thought to be associated with loss of spine stability. However, before this can be understood in relation to back pain, it is necessary to know the relationship between DD and ...
Investigator analytic repeatability of two new intervertebral motion biomarkers for chronic, nonspecific low back pain in a cohort of healthy controls
(Chiropractic and Manual Therapies, 2020)
Background: Understanding the mechanisms underlying chronic, nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) is essential to advance personalized care and identify the most appropriate intervention. Recently, two intervertebral motion ...
Association of exposures to seated postures with immediate increases in back pain: A systematic review of studies with objectively measured sitting time
(Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2020)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of studies to determine whether sitting time measured objectively (by laboratory controlled time trial, direct observation, or wearable sensor) is ...
Passive intervetebral motion characteristics in chronic mid to low back pain: A multivariate analysis
(Medical Engineering and Physics, 2020)
Purpose: Studies comparing back pain patients and controls on continuous intervertebral kinematics have shown differences using univariate parameters. Hitherto, multivariate approaches have not been applied to this high ...
Clinicians' ability to detect a palpable difference in spinal stiffness compared with a mechanical device
(Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2019)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the threshold at which clinicians can detect a difference in spinal stiffness of the thoracic and lumbar spine via palpation and then determine if this detection threshold ...
Intrasubject repeatability of in vivo intervertebral motion parameters using quantitative fluoroscopy
(European Spine Journal, 2019)
Purpose: In vivo quantification of intervertebral motion through imaging has progressed to a point where biomarkers for low back pain are emerging. This makes possible deeper study of the condition’s biometrics. However, ...
Comparison of intra subject repeatability of quantitative fluoroscopy and static radiography in the measurement of lumbar intervertebral flexion translation
(Scientific Reports, 2019)
Low back pain patients are sometimes offered fusion surgery if intervertebral translation, measured from static, end of range radiographs exceeds 3 mm. However, it is essential to know the measurement error of such methods, ...
Correlations between individuals’ characteristics and spinal stiffness in individuals with and without back pain: A combined analysis of multiple data sets
(Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, 2018)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the correlations between individual characteristics and spinal stiffness as measured with different spinal stiffness measurement devices in individuals with and without ...
