Exploring interactions between force, repetition and posture on low back joint loading and intervertebral disc injury
Gooyers, Chad Edward (University of Waterloo, 2014-08-26)Low back pain (LBP) affects approximately 80% of the population at some point in their lives, with 65% of cases becoming chronic pain sufferers. Approximately 40% of LBP cases are attributed to intervertebral disc (IVD) ... -
The impact of compressive force magnitude on the in vitro neutral zone range and passive stiffness during a flexion–extension range of motion test
Noguchi, Mamiko; Gooyers, Chad Edward; Holmes, Michael W.R.; Callaghan, Jack P. (Taylor & Francis, 2015-02-23)The objective of this work was to examine the influence of compressive force magnitude on a functional spinal unit’s (FSU) flexion–extension neutral zone measured during pure moment (PM) tests. Each porcine cervical FSU ...
