This study aimed to compare the long-term effects of flexion- and extension-based lumbar exercises on chronic axial low back pain (LBP). This was a 1-year follow-up of a prospective, assessor-blind, randomized controlled trial. Patients with axial LBP (intensity ≥ 5/...
Forty-nine subjects performed a series of simple forward bending and lifting exercises while their lumbar flexion was measured continuously using a skin-surface technique (3-space isotrak). Peak flexion angles were compared with the bending properties of cadaveric osteoligamentous spines in order to ...
One important mechanical function of the lumbar spine is to support the upper body by transmitting compressive and shearing forces to the lower body during the performance of everyday activities. To enable the successful transmission of these forces, mechanical stability of the spinal system must be...

Characteristics of doppler ultrasonography following repetitive mckenzie lumbar flexion and extension exercises in healthy young volunteersS., AlObaidiA., AsbeutahN., HassanS., Boben
Neck pain and lower back pain are commonly reported by military pilots. That is why the answers to the following questions are important: (1) which part of the back (neck or lumbar spine) is more likely to be painful in military pilots as a result of high G-force, and (2) what inte...
