Load Distribution in the Lumbar Spine During Modeled Compression Depends on Lordosis.
2021
Excessive or incorrect loading of lumbar spinal structures is commonly assumed as one of the factors to accelerate degenerative processes, which may lead to lower back pain. Accordingly, the mechanics of the spine under medical conditions, such as scoliosis or spondylolisthesis, is well-investigated. Treatments via both conventional therapy and surgical methods alike aim at restoring a “healthy” (or at least pain-free) load distribution. Yet, surprisingly little is known about the inter-subject variability of load bearings within a “healthy” lumbar spine. Hence, we utilized computer tomography data from 28 trauma-room patients, whose lumbar spines showed no visible sign of degeneration, to …
The angle of trunk rotation and symmetry of a lower limb loading in musicians of a symphony orchestra in Poland: a pilot study concerning instrument-…

Background: The study aimed to evaluate the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) and symmetry of lower limb loading in professional musicians. Material and Methods: A total of 60 instrumentalists were examined: cellists, violinists and musicians playing wind instruments. The scoliometer examination was used to assess trunk asymmetry. The angle of trunk rotation was measured at segment: Th1–Th4, Th5–Th12, and Th12–L4. The maximum value (ATR max) and the sum of three rotations (STR) were calculated. Two scales were used to assess the symmetry of lower limb loading. Loading symmetry index (LSI) of the lower limb was calculated. Results: Violinists have the highest mean values of ATR, ATR max, STR and…

En condiciones normales la columna vertebral no presenta ninguna curvatura en el plano frontal y cuatro curvaturas fisiológicas en el plano de perfil. Existen patologías en las que se produce una alteración de estas curvaturas fisiológicas, como la escoliosis, la hipercifosis torácica y la cifoescoliosis. La escoliosis consiste en una compleja deformidad tridimensional de la columna vertebral en los tres planos del espacio, consistente en una extensión intervertebral en el plano sagital, una inclinación lateral en el plano frontal y un componente de rotación en el plano axial. La hipercifosis torácica consiste en un aumento por encima de un límite normal de la cifosis torácica fisiológica (…
