Congenital lumbar vertebrae agenesis in a lamb
Congenital agenesis of lumbar vertebrae was diagnosed in a day-old female lamb based on radiology and clinical examinations. There was no neurological deficit in hindlimb and forelimb associated with standing disability. Radiography of the abdominal region revealed absence of lumbar vertebrae. Necropsy confirmed clinical and radiographic results. No other anomaly or agenesis was seen macroscopi...
متن کاملStudy on Lumbar Vertebrae Biomechanical Characteristics for Speed Skating Athlete Based on Finite Element Method
Objective: To establish the three-dimensional finite element model of lumbar motion segment (L4-L5) that considers material property and geometrical behave, to investigate mechanical characteristics of lumbar spinal motion segment for application of prevention and reduction of lumbar trauma for the speed skating athletes. Methods: three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) of the human lumbar...
متن کاملEstablishment of a new animal model for ischemic lumbar vertebrae.
Degeneration and ischemia of lumbar intervertebral disc has become a more and more important issue for elder people. However the mechanism for this is still known, largely due to a lack of a suitable animal model. In this study, we constructed a new animal model for the study of ischemic lumbar vertebrae. 42 New Zealand white rabbits were chosen for the study. For each rabbit, two vertebrae wer...
متن کاملAssessing Thoracic and Lumbar Spinal Curvature Norm: A Systematic Review
Background: The quality and condition of the human body are of particular importance. This is because the positive and negative changes resulting from this matter could affect other conditions. The skeletal condition of the spine is an essential part of a person's physical condition. Recognizing correct positions has always attracted the attention of sports scientists. The present study review...
متن کاملEstimating Lumbar Spinal Loads during a Golf Swing Using an Emg-assisted Optimization Model Approach
INTRODUCTION: A number of surveys have shown that the golf swing is increasingly being recognized as a potential cause of lower back injuries. Although many researchers have been interested in seeking a “perfect” golf swing to improve performance, surprisingly, few studies have investigated the potential causes of injury such as back pain. The forces generated by the musculature surrounding the...
