Scoliosis is a deformity of the spine that in severe cases requires surgical treatment. There is
still disagreement among clinicians as to what the aim of such treatment is as well as the …

Objectives To (i) identify predictors of outcome for the physiotherapy management of
shoulder pain and (ii) enable clinicians to subgroup people into risk groups for persistent …

Individuals with back pain are often diagnosed with spine instability, even though it is
unclear whether the spine is susceptible to unstable behavior. The spine is a complex …

Although biomechanics plays a role in the development and perhaps the persistent or
recurrent nature of low back pain (LBP), whether biomechanics alone can provide the basis …

In order to improve understanding of the complex interactions between spinal sub-systems
(ie, the passive (ligaments, discs, fascia and bones), the active (muscles and tendons) and …

Quantitative fluoroscopy (QF) is an emerging technology for measuring intervertebral motion
patterns to investigate problem back pain and degenerative disc disease. This International …

Purpose Evidence of intervertebral mechanical markers in chronic, non-specific low back
pain (CNSLBP) is lacking. This research used dynamic fluoroscopic studies to compare …

Introduction Identifying biomechanical subgroups in chronic, non-specific low back pain
(CNSLBP) populations from inter-vertebral displacements has proven elusive. Quantitative …

Finite element (FE) modelling is an established technique for investigating spinal
biomechanics. Using image data to produce FE models with subject-specific geometry and …

Purpose In vivo quantification of intervertebral motion through imaging has progressed to a
point where biomarkers for low back pain are emerging. This makes possible deeper study …
