Compares the effects of the lumbar lateral flexion and lumbar lateral shift maneuvers on the nature and distribution of lumbar coronal plane movement. Greater lumbar movement with the lateral flexion maneuver; Equal occurrence of ipsilateral and contralateral coupled rotation in the upper lumbar spine....
Nucleus pulposus deformation in response to lumbar spine lateral flexion: an in vivo MRI investigation Whilst there are numerous studies examining aspects of sagittal plane motion in the lumbar spine, few consider coronal plane range of motion and there are ... PJ Fazey,TKP Singer - 《European ...
To minimize the effect of pain on the measurements, only patients with minimal or no pain at the time technique was used for the evaluation of LROM in flexion, extension and lateral flexion as well as lumbar lordosis. A lumbar rotameter was used for measuring axial rotation. Pelvic motion ...
The height of the intervertebral discs, the dorsoventral displacement of the cranial vertebra and the range of sagittal plane rotational and transitional motion were measured for all segments of the lumbar spine from flexion-extension views of 30 patients. In each patient, at least one lumbar disc...
The ranges of lumbar flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial rotation were measured using the CA6000 Spine Motion Analyser and the Polhemus Fastrak system, using standardised protocols.Each device showed good test-retest reliability in itself (R0.82). The absolute values for range of flexion ...
This could suggest an attack of lumbago but when it comes to further clinical examination, straight leg raising is found to be of full range and completely painless. Patients with psoas muscle irritation also present with decreased hip motion and a painful weakness of hip flexion. It is ...
The normal lumbar spine ranges of motion (ROM) are flexion, 0° to 90°; extension, 0° to 30°; bilateral lateral flexion, 0° to 25°; and bilateral lateral rotation, 0° to 60°.5Chapter 39on lowback painprovides a review of the possible causes of limitation of ROM and pain. Ho...
The changes in the intervertebral space angle and anterior-posterior translation distance of the affected segments and adjacent segments in hyperextension and hyperflexion positions on lateral X-ray images compared to the preoperative values did not have a statistically significant difference (p > ...
(e.g., walking, standing, climbing stairs), the range of motion must be restored in all six degrees of freedom (flexion–extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation) within an acceptable range. Reference values for range of motion, intradiscal pressure, and IVD height for healthy spines ...
(1) a slight lateral trunk translation towards the supporting side, induced by transverse-plane CKC hip adduction and shoulder flexion; and (2) a slight trunk rotation that rises the non-supporting side of the trunk upwards and towards the supporting side, induced by transverse-plane CKC hip ...
