Effect of the lumbar scoliosis on the results of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry

Orthopedic Reviews, 2020
One of the most common causes of lumbar scoliosis in adults is the decreased bone mineral density (BMD). The scoliosis in the lumbar spine has a known effect over the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan results.

A proposal of lumbosacral load wearable sensor and lumbosacral alignment estimation based on X-ray image

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
Anteflexion of the spine is essential for many physical activities of daily living. However, this motion places the lumbar disks because it generats heavy load due to changes in the shape of the lumbar spine and can lead to low back pain.

Presentation of an Approach on Determination of the Natural Frequency of Human Lumbar Spine Using Dynamic Finite Element Analysis

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2019
Occurring resonance may negatively affect the health of the human lumbar spine. Hence, vibration generated in working and living environments should be optimized to avoid resonance when identifying the natural frequency of the human lumbar spine.
