Sagittal range of motion demonstrated similar ranges of lumbar flexion between the two groups; however, there was a marked gain in hip flexion in the shearers as well as a marked loss of lumbar extension. The shearers also demonstrated a more lordotic lower lumbar curvature compensated by a ...
Aims and objectives: To generate gender-specific and broadly based age-related indices for normative lumbar ranges of motion for all planes of movement. Design: This was a repeated measures prospective study of spinal range of motion in a sample of volunteer subjects utilizing a portable modified ...
Moreover, Davis and Kotowski [25] also in patients with CLBP, reported no significant gains in all ranges of motion following pain reduction, which are in agreement with the current study. However our findings and those of the above studies are in contrast to some other studies [25, 24]....
Soft tissue palpation is important to evaluate paraspinous muscle tone, the localization of trigger points and the presence of masses such as lipomas. Pain on palpation over the iliac crest can indicate cluneal nerve entrapment.11 The normal lumbar spine ranges of motion (ROM) are flexion, 0...
Ranges of motion for flexion, extension, axial torque (one side), and lateral bending (one side) were, respectively: 5.8 degrees, 4.3 degrees, 2.3 degrees, and 4.9 degrees (L1-2); 6.5 degrees, 4.3 degrees, 2.6 degrees, and 7.0 degrees (L2-3); 7.5 degrees, 3.7 degrees, 2.6 degrees,...
In addition to the history, a physical exam that includes range-of-motion, sensory dermatomal analysis, reflex exam, muscle testing, and orthopedic tests are the standard. Positive signs such as limited ranges-of-motion, weakness, sensory abnormalities, and tests and maneuvers such as a positive...
The lumbarpediclestend to be short and medially inclined. The transverse diameter of the pedicles ranges from 8 to 18 mm. The height of the lumbarpedicleis approximately 15 mm on average. The lumbar pedicle axis is directed approximately 7 degrees medially at L1 and increases at each lumbar...
effect on pullout strength35. A new research suggested that the roughness of surface is another important factor for insertion torque36. Incidence of screw breakage ranges between 2.6 and 60%8,9,10and its occurrence represents a serious problem. A few of methods like the modified screw and ...
The amount of anterior slippage (olisthesis) with DS ranges from 8% to 43% (Postacchini & Perugia, 1991). The consequence of this anterior slippage of the entire vertebra, including the posterior arch, isspinal canal stenosiswith possible compromise of thecauda equina(Kirkaldy-Willis et al.,...
(6～26 months).Bone fusion was roentgenologically observed in all patients.As a result,9 patients were graded in excellent,and 3 good.Conclusion:This biomechnical operation is technically simple and makes no sacrifices of lumbar motion ranges.Isthmic bone grafting is indicated in young patients ...
