Time-dependent assessment of the human lumbar spine in response to flexion exposures: in vivo measurement and modeling
… US. Epidemiological evidence has indicated that prolonged and/or repetitive non-neutral postures, such as trunk flexion, are commonly associated with an increased risk of LBDs. Trunk flexion can result in viscoelastic deformations of soft tissues and subsequent mechanical and neuromuscular …

Prolonged Lumbar Flexion Disturbs Paraspinal Reflex Behavior
The neuromuscular response to prolonged lumbar flexion has recently been extensively studied in felines but has not been examined in humans. Animal studies suggest that prolonged lumbar flexion disturbs neuromuscular control of paraspinal muscles. This disturbance was linked to creep deformation of …
