Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration and herniation often necessitate surgical interventions
including a discectomy with or without a nucleotomy, which results in a loss of the normal …

Objectives Bags such as handbags, shoulder bags, and backpacks are commonly used.
However, it is difficult to assess the biomechanical effects of bag‐carrying styles on the …

Background Alterations in posture, lumbopelvic kinematics, and movement patterns are
commonly seen in patients with low back pain. Therefore, strengthening the posterior …

Recently, it has been shown that the extramuscular connective tissue (ECT) is likely involved
in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to …

Optimization models are often devised to assess spinal stability via estimating individual
muscle forces. However, neglecting muscles' fluidic behavior remains an approximation due …

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) and
lumbar muscle modulus in individuals with and without hamstring injury using shear wave …

Patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) exhibit remodelling of the lumbar soft tissues
such as muscle fatty infiltrations (MFI) and fibrosis of the lumbar multifidus (LuM) muscles …

Chronic low back pain patients may experience spinal instability. Abdominal belts (ABs)
have been shown to improve spine stability, trunk stiffness, and resiliency to spinal …

Background The quantitative assessment of individual muscle and fascial stiffness in
patients with low back pain remains a challenge. This study aimed to compare the stiffness …

Recent studies have shown that the extramuscular connective tissue (ECT) is thickened and
stiffened in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). However, contrarily to the normal …
