Does movement matter in people with back pain? Investigating ‘atypical’ lumbo-pelvic kinematics in people with and without back pain using wireless movement sensors
BackgroundInterventions for low back pain (LBP) commonly target ‘dysfunctional’ or atypical lumbo-pelvic kinematics in the belief that correcting...

Adjacent segments biomechanics following lumbar fusion surgery: a musculoskeletal finite element model study
PurposeThis study exploits a novel musculoskeletal finite element (MS-FE) spine model to evaluate the post-fusion (L4–L5) alterations in adjacent...

Subgroups of lumbo-pelvic flexion kinematics are present in people with and without persistent low back pain
BackgroundMovement dysfunctions have been associated with persistent low back pain (LBP) but optimal treatment remains unclear. One possibility is...

The effects of bending speed on the lumbo-pelvic kinematics and movement pattern during forward bending in people with and without low back pain
BackgroundImpaired lumbo-pelvic movement in people with low back pain during bending task has been reported previously. However, the regional...

Effects of the suboccipital muscle inhibition technique on pain intensity, range of motion, and functional disability in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain
BackgroundChronic mechanical low back pain is a common clinical condition encountered by physical therapists. It has a mechanical origin that lasts...
