Many adolescent athletes experience low back pain (LBP). Its causative factors include lower limb muscle tightness and hip-spine incoordination. Hip-spine coordination [or lumbopelvic rhythm, LPR] can be used to assess lower-limb and spine functions. We assessed the presence/absence of LBP in adolescent soccer players before and after a six-month period and divided them into four groups: no LBP...

Coupling of spine and hip joints during full body reaching tasks was investigated in 16 participants (8 male and 8 female) who performed reaching tasks at comfortable and fast-paced movement speeds to three targets located in a para-sagittal plane. The participants paused at target contact for 500ms and then returned to an upright posture. Three-dimensional joint motions of the spine and hip we...

fracture. several chronic medical conditions, medications, and life style factors affect bone mineral accrual. this study aims to evaluate the bone mineral densities and hip axis lengths in the local population. materials and methods: 336 normal bangladeshi women age ranges 20 to 70 years had evaluation of their bone mineral densities (bmds) by means of dual x-ray absorptiometry (dxa). results:...

INTRODUCTION Clinically, there has been an interest in the relationship between hip and spine function since the first reporting of hip-spine syndrome [1]. This work discussed the effects of a pathological hip joint on spine function. Others [2,3] have suggested an association between low back pain (LBP) and gluteal muscle inhibition as part of the functional presentation in some patients with ...

Ischiofemoral impingement syndrome is known as one of the causes of hip pain due to impingement of ischium and femur, and usually correlated with trauma or operation. We report a rare case of ischiofemoral impingement syndrome that has no history of trauma or surgery. A 48-year-old female patient was referred for 2 months history of the left hip pain, radiating to lower extremity with a hip sna...

STUDY DESIGN In vivo biomechanical study using a three-dimensional (3D) musculoskeletal model for elderly individuals with or without pelvic retroversion. PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of pelvic retroversion on the sagittal alignment of the spine, pelvis, and lower limb in elderly females while standing and walking. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Patients with hip-spine syndrome have concurrent hi...

Background: Adult degenerative disorders of hip and spine are common. The recent studies inconsistently havediscussed about the influence of spinal disorders on total hip arthroplasty (THA). In this review, we discussed clearlyabout these relationships and their effects on the most appropriate position of the acetabular component.Methods: We searched on databases and evaluated the articles abou...
