Background Squatting is a core exercise for many purposes. The tissue loading during
squatting is crucial for positive adaptation and to avoid injury. This study aimed to evaluate …

X-rays have been the gold standard for diagnosis, evaluation, and management of spinal
scoliosis for decades as other assessment methods are indirect, too expensive, or not …

This study evaluated the between-session reliability of creating subject-specific
musculoskeletal models with optoelectronic motion capture data, and using them to estimate …

There is a long-held belief that physical activities such as lifting with a flexed spine is
generally harmful for the back and can cause low back pain (LBP), potentially reinforcing …

Background and purpose The pathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains
poorly understood. Previous research has indicated possible relationships between …

Biomechanical analysis of the human spine is crucial to understanding injury patterns.
Motion capture technology has gained attention due to its non-invasive nature …

Background Structural leg length discrepancy (LLD) is a common phenomenon. However,
its effect on spinal gait kinematics remains unclear. Research question How does LLD affect …

Most studies investigating trunk kinematics have not provided adequate quantification of
spinal motion, resulting in a limited understanding of the healthy spine's biomechanical …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Two-dimensional static radiography currently forms the golden
standard in spinal alignment measurement in adult spinal deformity (ASD). However, these …

The objective of this study was to test the reliability of sagittal spinal curvature
measurements using 3-D ultrasound in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) …
