Background The understanding of the individual shape and mobility of the lumbar spine are
key factors for the prevention and treatment of low back pain. The influence of age and sex …

Methods and devices to treat discogenic lumbar back pain are disclosed. Electrodes are
implanted within the anterior epidural space of the patient. A pulse generator that is …

Introduction Changes in movement variability and complexity may reflect an adaptation
strategy to fatigue. One unresolved question is whether this adaptation is hampered by the …

Frequent upper body bending is associated with low back pain (LBP). The complex flexion
movement, combining lumbar and pelvic motion, is known as “lumbopelvic rhythm” and can …
