Study design: A theoretical model of spinal stability is proposed. Objective: To present a biomechanical study in vitro using flexibility and loading tests of the normal lumbar spine and of two lumbar ...

Objective: To investigate the biomechanical differences among different Castellvi classifications of lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) based on finite element analysis. Methods: Using CT data ...

Background The incidence of lumbar spine injury is high in rowers. Spinal kinematics and fatigue may influence onset of this injury. Objective To quantify lumbar spine motion in the frontal plane (at ...
