Since the publication of the 2nd edition of White and Panjabi׳ s textbook, Clinical
Biomechanics of the Spine in 1990, there has been considerable research on the …

Abstract Background Context Clinicians regard lumbar lordotic curvature (LLC) with respect
to low back pain (LBP) in a contradictory fashion. The time-honored point of view is that LLC …

Objectives The purposes of this study were to investigate the prevalence and distribution of
intervertebral disc degeneration (DD) over the entire spine using magnetic resonance …

We developed and validated a fully articulated model of the thoracolumbar spine in opensim
that includes the individual vertebrae, ribs, and sternum. To ensure trunk muscles in the …

OBJECT Previous forceplate studies analyzing the impact of sagittal-plane spinal deformity
on pelvic parameters have demonstrated the compensatory mechanisms of pelvis …

Background and Purpose Patients with increased thoracic curvature often come to physical
therapists for management of spinal pain and disorders. Although treatment approaches are …

Vertebral fractures occur most frequently in the mid‐thoracic and thoracolumbar regions of
the spine, yet the reasons for this site‐specific occurrence are not known. Our working …

Study Design. A case-control study of older adults with and without chronic low back pain
(CLBP). Objective. Compare and describe the radiographic severity of degenerative disc …

The current study investigated mechanical predictors for the development of adjacent disc
degeneration. A 3-D finite element model of a lumbar spine was modified to simulate two …

Soft tissue artefact affects the determination of skeletal kinematics. Thus, it is important to
know the accuracy and limitations of kinematic parameters determined and modelled based …
