Introduction: Trunk neuromuscular responses have been shown to adapt under the
influence of muscle fatigue, as well as spinal tissue creep or even with the presence of low …

By maintaining a balance between external mechanical loads and internal osmotic
pressure, fluid content of intervertebral discs constantly alters causing fluctuations in disc …

Low back pain (LBP) remains one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, while
algorithms that able to recognise LBP patients from healthy population using balance …

Lumbar muscle fatigue is a potential risk factor for the development of low back pain. In this
study, we investigated the influence of lumbar extensor muscle fatigue on lumbar–pelvic …

Sit-stand desks continue to be a popular intervention for office work. While previous studies
have reported changes in subjective measures, there is limited understanding of how sit …

Workers with low back pain (LBP) may benefit from wearing a lumbar belt (LB), but the
biomechanical and psychological mechanisms involved are not fully understood. Two types …

Introduction Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder, especially among skilled
workers who must keep their necks in a flexed position frequently during the day. The …

Background Research suggests that in some patients with low back pain, lumbar belts (LB)
may derive secondary prophylactic benefits. It remains to be determined, however, which …

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 …

The goal of the present study was to determine the effects of prolonged, intermittent flexion
on trunk neuromuscular control. Furthermore, the potential beneficial effects of passive …
