Background and Study Aims The contribution of facet joint orientation (FO) to degeneration of the functional units of the lumbar spine remains unclear. The study used positional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the association between intervertebral disk degeneration and FO at the L3-L4...

Further studies are needed to clarify whether the degenerative process of facet joint osteoarthritis differs between genders and how facet joint osteoarthritis affects the stability of the spinal motion segment. 展开 关键词: Keywords biomechanics disc degeneration facet joint osteoarthritis lumbar spine ...
In a real human spine, the geometry is different at each spinal level, such as the curvature of the facet joint, the dimensions of the vertebrae, and the height of the vertebral discs. Even for individuals of a similar stature, variability exists in vertebral responses in the human spine. ...
The hyaline cartilage of the central region of the superior articular facet (the area of greatest concavity) increases in thickness with age, probably because this region receives much of the load during flexion of the spine (Taylor & Twomey, 1986). Also, the articular processes may fracture ...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of degenerative changes in the paraspinal muscles caused by local (prolonged compression) or systemic (high-fat diet) factors on the structure of the intervertebral discs and facet joints of the lumbar spine in rats. ...

Lumbar radiculopathy is a common disease of the spine, usually caused by mechanical compression or local inflammation to stimulate the nerve root. It is estimated that the prevalence rate is 3–5% of the population6.Clinically, routine treatment includes conservative treatment and surgical treatment, ...
A thorough examination should be conducted of the surrounding structures, including thoracic spine, pelvis, and hips, to determine impairments that could hinder a full recovery; if identified, these impairments should be addressed in the plan of care. The patient should be cautioned on sitting for...
