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 ...
A comparison of isolated lumbar extension strength between healthy asymptomatic participants and chronic low back pain participants without previous lumbar spine surgery
(Spine, 2018)
Study Design. Cross-sectional case-control study.
Objective. To compare isolated lumbar extension strength between healthy asymptomatic participants and participants with chronic low back pain (CLBP), while controlling ...
Variability in strength, pain, and disability changes in response to an isolated lumbar extension resistance training intervention in participants with chronic low back pain
(Healthcare, 2017)
Strengthening the lumbar extensor musculature is a common recommendation for chronic low back pain (CLBP). Although reported as effective, variability in response in CLBP populations is not well investigated. This study ...
Determining the reliability of a custom built seated stadiometry set-up for measuring spinal height in participants with chronic low back pain
(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 ...
