Background Although impairments in dorso-lumbar spine mobility have been previously
reported in patients with low back pain, its exact mechanism is not yet clear. Therefore, the …

Low back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide and studies have demonstrated
intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration as a major risk factor. While many in vitro models …

With the increased burden of low back pain (LBP) in our globally aging population there is a
need to develop preclinical models of LBP that capture clinically relevant features of …

Objective The aim of this study was to identify clinical phenotypes using sensor-based
measures of posture and movement, pain behavior, and psychological factors in …

Objective: Despite high prevalence estimates, chronic low back pain (CLBP) remains poorly
understood among older adults. Movement-evoked pain (MeP) is an understudied factor in …

The single leg squat (SLS), forward step down (FSD), and lateral step down (LSD) are
clinically reliable movement screens for identifying motion imbalances. The current …

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of combining pain education and virtual reality exposure
therapy using a cognitive behavioural therapy-informed approach (VR-CBT) on pain …

Lifting is a significant risk factor for low back pain (LBP). Different biomechanical factors
including spinal loads, kinematics, and muscle electromyography (EMG) activities have …

In clinical practice, functional limitations in patients with low back pain are subjectively
assessed, potentially leading to misdiagnosis and prolonged pain. This paper proposes an …

The ability of the lumbar extensor muscles to accurately control static and dynamic forces is
important during daily activities such as lifting. Lumbar extensor force control is impaired in …
