The Effect of Hamstring Lengthening on Pelvic Tilt and Lumbar Lordosis
… pelvic tilt. Posterior pelvic tilt causes the lumbar spine to flatten (hypolordosis) which places pressure on the anterior structures of the spine, including the intervertebral disc. This increased pressure may predispose individuals to disc degeneration and associated pain. For this reason, …

Determination of the Functional Relationship Between Lumbar Lordosis and Pelvic Tilt
… arthroplasty (THA) have concurrently developed a lumbar spine disorder. If the THA patient then undergoes SFS, any abnormal alignment of the spine can then impact the function and survivorship of the THA. The goal of this study was to examine the influence of altered sagittal lumbar lordosis on …

Kinematic and Kinetic Effects of Alterations in Lumbar Lordosis in People with Tight Hamstrings
… the accuracy of sagittal spinal measures of lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, and sagittal vertical axis, which are calculated using skin markers. Lateral x-rays taken by the EOS bi-planar scanner were used to measure both clinical and marker measures. Sagittal spinal measures were also …

Investigating the mechanical relationship between the feet and low-back
… of the pelvis and subsequently the degree of lumbar lordosis. Since lumbar lordosis has been suggested as a cause of low-back pain, it is speculated that foot orthoses could be used to treat and prevent pain to the low-back by reducing the forward curvature of the spine. This mechanical link …

Validation and Use of an Induced-Pain Paradigm to Investigate Risk Factors for Low Back Pain Development during Prolonged Standing
… the standing paradigm. In chapter 3, we examined lumbar lordosis in PDs and NPDs. We found that (1) PDs displayed more lumbar lordosis than NPDs and (2) the amount of lumbar lordosis was related to LBP symptom intensity in PDs. In chapter 4 we examined timing of lumbopelvic motion during the …

… groups had individuals with increased cervical lordosis, lumbar lordosis and sacroiliac kyphosis. In the study group, individuals also had increased thoracic kyphosis. All subjects in the control group had no risk of falls. Although the results were similar in the obese subjects, one subject …

Comparison of Thoracic and Lumbar Spine Angles and Transient Between Standing and Supine Neutral Axial Twisted Positions
… pain development, attention should be paid to lumbar lordosis and axial twist in supine neutral and lumbar lateral bend in supine axial twist.

Interrelationships between spinal and pelvic angles and hip muscle indices and their implications for workspace design
The shape of the lumbar and thoracic spinal curves in healthy subjects, when standing and when adopting a variety of working positions, was investigated using angular measures. The hypothesis that spinal and pelvic posture is determined by body position was supported. The mechanism by which body …

ΣΠΟΝΔΥΛΟΛΙΣΘΗΣΕΙΣ: ειδική συμπτωματολογία και θεραπεία σε παιδιά και εφήβους
… TO FLEX THE HIPS WITH STRAIGHT KNEES, C) FIXED LUMBAR LORDOSIS. THE FIRST SYMPTOM IS PATHOGNOMONIC FOR PATIENT'S CONDITION AND APPEARED IN 14 OF OUR PATIENTS. IN 6 CASES WADDLING GAIT WAS THE FIRST AND THE ONLY SYMPTOM. 3. ONLY FEW CASES OF SPONDYLOLISTHESIS DEMAND SURGICAL TREATMENT. THE …

Degenerative retrolisthesis: is it a compensatory mechanism for sagittal imbalance
… Results: A backward slip was found in the upper lumbar levels (mostly L2 or L3) with an almost equal gender distribution in both the R and R+A groups. The pelvic incidence and sacral slope of the R group were significantly lower than those of the A (both p < 0.001) and R+A groups (both p < …

Can Hippotherapy Improve Gait in Spastic Cerebral Palsy?
… pelvic retraction and pelvic anterior tilt with lumbar lordosis. Spasticity can be difficult to treat and finding a new, non-invasive method to help reduce spasticity could be of great value to individuals with CP related gait abnormalities.<br/><br/>Hippotherapy, carried out with the involvement …

Investigation of spine loading to understand vertebral fractures
… model capable of predicting forces in the thoracolumbar spine during daily activities. Model-derived predictions of vertebral compressive loading and trunk muscle activity were highly correlated with previously collected in vivo measurements of pressure, vertebral compression from telemeterized …

A qualitative and quantitative analysis of the developing human lumbar vertebral column
The human adult lumbar vertebral column plays an important role in loadbearing and weight-transmission between the trunk and the lower limb, while its other functions include acting as a site for haematopoiesis, an area of attachment for soft tissue structures and protection of the spinal cord. …

Innovations in adolescent scoliosis treatment
… to sagittal parameters as pelvic tilt (PT), lumbar lordosis (LL) and pelvic incidence (PI). The equation TK =2 (PT+LL-PI) was previously validated for adolescents. The use of patient-specific rods (PSR) with measured sagittal curves could improve the congruence between the preoperative plan …
