SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS Rest Activities Daily Living For years, rest an essential therapeutic recommendation cases low back pain with or without sciatica. spectacular...
Previous studies have shown that reduction of precise motor control accompanies local muscular fatigue. The effects isodynamic fatiguing flexion and extension trunk movements on the movement patterns output were investigated. Twenty male subjects with no history low-back pain for past 6 months volunteered study. A triaxial dynamometer was used simultaneously provided measurement torque, angular position velocity each axis. Resistances set independently axis by an interfaced computer....
Thirty-six 45–55-year-old men with healthy low backs were studied respect to body composition, isokinetic and isometric trunk strength, muscle endurance, cross-sectional area radiological density of mm erector spinae. Results compared those in the same age group intermittent back pain (LBP) (n = 91) chronic LBP 21). The was significantly stronger had longer endurance times than LBP. Men strength values between groups. There no significant differences any groups composition Radiological for...
Objective: To determine the effect of landing type (unilateral vs. bilateral) and gender on biomechanics drop landings in recreational athletes. Design: This study used a repeated measures design to compare bilateral unilateral male female A multivariate analysis variance (type landing*gender) was performed select variables. Setting: Biomechanics laboratory. Participants: Sixteen 16 Main Outcome Measures: Kinetic, kinematic, electromyographic (EMG) data were collected participants while...
Background Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) have a significant impact on physical therapists, but few studies addressed the issue. Research is needed to determine scope of problem and effects specific risk factors. Objectives The objectives this study were: (1) 1-year incidence rate WMSDs in therapists (2) Design This was prospective cohort with follow-up. Methods Subjects were randomly selected American Physical Therapy Association members (N=882). Exposure assessment included...
