Cumulative occupational lumbar load and lumbar disc disease : results of a German multi-center case-control study (EPILIFT) [PDF]

, 2009
Background The to date evidence for a dose-response relationship between physical workload and the development of lumbar disc diseases is limited. We therefore investigated the possible etiologic relevance of cumulative occupational lumbar load to lumbar

Lifestyle factors and lumbar disc disease: results of a German multi-center case-control study (EPILIFT) [PDF]

, 2010
Introduction: In the large-scale case-control study EPILIFT, we investigated the dose-response relationship between lifestyle factors (weight, smoking amount, cumulative duration of different sports activities) and lumbar disc disease.

A Numerical Investigation of Risk Factors Affecting Lumbar Spine Injuries Using a Detailed Lumbar Model

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2018
Recent field data showed that lumbar spine fractures occurred more frequently in late model vehicles than early ones in frontal crashes. However, the lumbar spine designs of the current crash test dummies are not accurate in human anatomy and have not ...

Effects of Resistance Footrest on Spine Posture in Visual Display Terminal Workers

Physical Therapy Korea, 2021
Background: Flat-back posture refers to a posture in which the pelvis is tilted backward, the lumbar spine is bent, the upper thoracic spine is increasingly bent, and the lower thoracic spine is straight. Given that most of the day is spent sitting, we

Intervertebral disc characterization by shear wave elastography: an in-vitro preliminary study [PDF]

, 2014
Patient-specific numerical simulation of the spine is a useful tool both in clinic and research. While geometrical personalization of the spine is no more an issue, thanks to recent technological advances, non-invasive personalization of soft tissue’s ...

Walking Biomechanics and Spine Loading in Patients With Symptomatic Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis is a leading cause of pain and mobility limitation in older adults. It is clinically believed that patients with lumbar spinal stenosis adopt a flexed trunk posture or bend forward and alter their gait pattern to ...

Three-dimensional simulation of the lumbar spine under lumbar spinal stenosis with different sizes of spinal canal

Partial Differential Equations in Applied Mathematics
In this paper, we investigate the effect of body weight on the lumbar spine with different spinal canal sizes when humans bend down by using the finite element method. Lumbar spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal.
