Background Centralization and directional preference are common management and
prognostic factors in spinal symptoms. Objective To update the previous systematic review …

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 …

Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of motor control training
on pain, disability and motor control indices in patients with nonspecific low back pain …

Various studies have reported alterations of spinal kinematics in patients with chronic low
back pain (CLBP) during gait. However, while recent findings stressed the importance of …

Background Since the contribution of the lumbar multifidus (LM) is not well understood in
relation to non-specific low back pain (LBP), this may limit physiotherapists in choosing the …

Background When functional movements are impaired in people with low back pain, they
may be a contributing factor to chronicity and recurrence. The purpose of the current study …

This study presents a wireless wearable portable system designed for the automatic
quantitative spatio-temporal analysis of continuous thoracic spine motion across various …

Background Low back pain (LBP) affects more than one third of the population at any given
time, and chronic LBP is responsible for increased medical costs, functional limitations and …

Background Limited research exists on lumbar spine and lower extremity movement during
functional tasks in people with and without low back pain (LBP). Objective To determine …
