Examining The Lumbar Movement Pattern During Functional Activities In People With Low Back Pain, Andrej Vincent Marich May 2017

Examining The Lumbar Movement Pattern During Functional Activities In People With Low Back Pain, Andrej Vincent Marich

Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Low back pain (LBP) is a highly prevalent condition that is often characterized by persistent pain and limitations in the performance of daily functional activities. The repeated use of altered movement patterns during the performance of daily functional activities is proposed to contribute to the development and course of LBP. Specifically, in the case of LBP, the proposed alteration of movement is one in which the lumbar spine moves more readily than other joints that can contribute to the movement. This altered movement pattern is proposed to contribute to accumulation of localized tissue stress, micro- and macro-trauma of lumbar spine …


The Relationship Of Anthropometric Ratios And Kinematic & Kinetic Measures Of The Hip In Recreational Male Athletes Performing The Back Squat, Jay C. Garrels May 2017

The Relationship Of Anthropometric Ratios And Kinematic & Kinetic Measures Of The Hip In Recreational Male Athletes Performing The Back Squat, Jay C. Garrels

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

The back squat exercise is a popular resistance exercise that involves synchronous movement of the entire body to perform the movement properly . The two main focuses when considering engaging in the back squat exercise are the risks of injury and the enhancement of performance. There is little information and scant understanding on the way body proportionality impacts the risk of injury and performance. The present study investigated this issue by investigating if there was a relationship between anthropometric ratios and kinematic & kinetic outcomes from the left and right hip when experienced, male back squatters performed a single repetition …
