Stability Ball Versus Office Chair: Comparison of Muscle Activation and Lumbar Spine Posture During Prolonged Sitting
OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate the differences between sitting on a stability ball and in an office chair in terms of trunk muscle activation and lumbar spine posture. BACKGROUND Stability balls have become increasingly popular as an alternative to office chairs to help reduce the prevalence of low back pain; however, little research has been conducted on their use as of...
متن کاملShear force allowance in lumbar spine under follower load in neutral standing posture.
It has been shown experimentally that the load carrying capacity of the spine significantly increases when compressive loads are carried along the follower load (FL) direction. However, it is necessary to modify the current FL concept because a certain amount of shear force is produced during activities in daily life. In this study, a clinically allowable range of shear force was investigated u...
متن کاملThe effect of posture on the lumbar spine.
A series of experiments showing how posture affects the lumbar spine is reviewed. Postures which flatten (that is, flex) the lumbar spine are compared with those that preserve the lumbar lordosis. Our review shows that flexed postures have several advantages: flexion improves the transport of metabolites in the intervertebral discs, reduces the stresses on the apophyseal joints and on the poste...
متن کاملLumbar posture--should it, and can it, be modified? A study of passive tissue stiffness and lumbar position during activities of daily living.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Physical therapists commonly attempt to reduce and prevent low back pain by "improving" individuals' lumbar posture. To investigate the physical therapy clinical practice of attempting to "improve" lumbar posture, measures of passive tissue stiffness and angular deformation during activities of daily living were used. PARTICIPANTS The lumbar spine posture of 150 univers...
متن کاملPain generators of the lumbar spine.
Different anatomical structures and pathophysiological functions can be responsible for lumbar pain, each producing a distinctive clinical profile. Pain can arise from the intervertebral disc, either acutely as a primary disc related disorder, or as result of the degradation associated with chronic internal disc disruption. In either case, greatest pain provocation will be associated with movem...
