Facet jointBackground Lumbar spine abnormalities, in particular stress fractures to the pars interarticularis, are common in elite junior tennis players, though the difference in prevalence between males and females remains unclear. Further, facet joint orientation appears to be a possible option for ...
The biomechanical influence of the facet joint orientation and the facet tropism in the lumbar spine. Spine J. 13, 1301-1308.The biomechanical influence of the facet joint orientation and the facet tropism in the lumbar spine[J] . Ho-Joong Kim,Heoung-Jae Chun,Hwan-Mo Lee,Kyoung-Tak Kang,...
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 ...
inter-spinous space to perform neuraxial block.The aim of this study was to assess the anatomical correlation between neuraxial ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).Twenty-one patients who underwent MRI of the lumbar spine had ultrasound of lumbarneuraxis performed by an experienced operator...
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 numerical results were principally concerned with facet joint forces at various levels of the lumbar spine and the intradiscal pressures in the discs under different preloads. In addition, the von Mises stresses/strains in the lumbar spine in the standing position were also studied for analysis...
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 nerve root pain refers to pain caused by specific nerves of the lumbar spine that can radiate from the lower back to the legs or beyond. Patients often have mechanical lesions of the spine, such as intervertebral disc herniation or spinal canal stenosis caused by structural hyperplasia of...
Rectus femoris test with extensor challenge on the knee joint Quadriceps test with patellar compression challenge Stretch test and contraction phase of the PIR for the rectus femoris PIR of the vastus group: contraction phase Trigger points, referred pain pattern and effective distal points Show more...
This results in flexion of the spine and allows the insertion of the needle. The sample of cerebrospinal fluid is taken from below the level of the second lumbar vertebra as the spinal cord terminates at that point. Therefore, obtaining the sample of cerebrospinal fluid from below that point ...
