Low Back Pain in Hospital Workers Evaluation : Biomechanical Objectivity by Isokinetic Cybex Test
نویسنده
چکیده
Low back pain has become one of the major reasons from absence from work. The aetiology of LBP is still not fully understood and controversy remains regarding the significance of the influencing factors. Clinical objectivity is consistently increased by isokinetic testing devices whose validation is a major goal in clinical practice. By this means we set up a protocol of examination to better qualify subjects affected by LBP between the health workers of 6 hospitals of the region. Protocol and results are presented.

متن کاملCybex II isokinetic dynamometer for the documentation of spasticity. Suggestion from the field.
Recent studies involving patients with CNS lesions have clearly demonstrated that agonist paresis rather than antagonist spasticity is the primary factor limiting torque production. The presence of spasticity can, nonetheless, be important because of its effect on the quality of movement and because of the propensity of spastic muscles toward contracture. Therefore, methods for more precisely d...
