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 …

Background Prior studies have reported differences in lumbo-pelvic kinematics during a
trunk forward bending and backward return task between individuals with and without …

Occupations that involve sustained or repetitive neck flexion are associated with a higher
incidence of neck pain. Little in vivo information is available on the impact of static neck …

Forward bending and backward return of the human trunk in the sagittal plane are
associated with a specific lumbopelvic rhythm, which consists of magnitude and timing …

There is limited information in the literature related to the lower back loading in patients with
LBP, particularly those with non-chronic LBP. Toward addressing such a research gap, a …

Low back pain is a leading cause of disability in the elderly. The potential role of spinal
instability in increasing risk of low back pain with aging was indirectly investigated via …

Chronic low back pain (cLBP) rates among younger individuals are rising. Although pain
and disability are often less severe, underlying changes in trunk behavior may be …

Ageing affects balance control resulting in a greater amplitude of sway and alterations in
structure of the sway time series. Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) has been used …

The normal physiological loads from muscles experienced by the spine are largely unknown
due to a lack of data. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of varying muscle …

Movement adaptations to low back pain (LBP) are believed to protect the painful area.
Increased trunk stiffness and decreased trunk damping have been shown in people with …
