Trunk stabilization is achieved differently in patients with low back pain compared to healthy
controls. Many methods exist to assess trunk stabilization but not all measure the …

Background Abnormal mechanics of locomotion following lower-extremity amputation are
associated with increases in trunk motion, which in turn may alter loads at the low back due …

Low back pain is very common condition that often becomes a long-lasting problem in
prostheses users after lower limb amputation. The presented study aims to decide the …

People with unilateral, transtibial amputation (TTA) have an increased prevalence of chronic
low back pain (LBP) relative to able-bodied people. However, a definitive cause of …

Regular use of prostheses is critical for individuals with lower limb amputations to achieve
everyday mobility, maintain physical and physiological health, and achieve a better quality …

Prosthetic gait implies the use of compensatory motor strategies, including alterations in gait
biomechanics and adaptations in the neural control mechanisms adopted by the central …

Low back pain is a common secondary health condition after lower limb amputation with
important implications related to functional capabilities and overall quality of life. Despite the …

Age-related differences in trunk intrinsic stiffness, as an important potential contributor to
spinal stability, were investigated here because of:(1) the role of spinal instability in low back …

Background Alterations and asymmetries in trunk motions during activities of daily living,
involving lower extremities, are suggested to cause higher spinal loads in persons with …

Patients with unilateral dysvascular transtibial amputation (TTA) have a higher risk of
developing low back pain than their healthy counterparts, which may be related to …
