Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are being recognized in clinical and rehabilitation settings
for their ability to assess movement-related disorders of the spine for better guidance of …

Background and objectives: Low back pain is one of the most common health problems. In
85% of cases, it is not possible to identify a specific cause, and it is therefore called Non …

Evidence indicates that patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) have lumbar multifidus
muscle (LM) activation deficit which might be caused by changes in cortical excitability …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) offer a portable and inexpensive alternative to traditional
optical motion capture systems, and have potential to support clinical diagnosis and …

Background Neuromuscular instability of the lumbar spine resulting from impaired motor
control and degeneration of the multifidus muscle is a known root cause of refractory chronic …

Purpose To analyze the possibilities of using ICF core sets for musculoskeletal conditions in
primary care physiotherapy units of the Health Service of “Castilla y León”(Spain). Methods …

Background Clinical observation of aberrant movement patterns during prone hip extension
(PHE) is commonly used in clinical practice to identify patients with low back pain. It could be …

Inertial measurement units (IMUs) are a potentially useful tool for clinicians and researchers
in assessing spine movement biomechanics and neuromuscular control patterns. This study …

Studies reported the existence of instability catch (IC) during trunk flexion in patients with
chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, different movement speeds can cause different …

An observational, repeated measures design was used in this study to assess the validity of
