Effect of body weight on the L3 lumbar vertebra with lumbar spinal stenosis in different body-bending degrees: A finite element simulation

Results in Applied Mathematics, 2022
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common disorder of the human lumbar spine found in elderly people. The disease can cause severe pain in patients, especially when people bend down.

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.

Regional differences in lumbar spinal posture and the influence of low back pain

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2008
Background Spinal posture is commonly a focus in the assessment and clinical management of low back pain (LBP) patients. However, the link between spinal posture and LBP is not fully understood.

Automated measurements of lumbar lordosis in T2-MR images using decision tree classifier and morphological image processing

Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2019
Lumbar spine’s lordosis is a very important parameter functionally and clinically; it is a key feature in maintaining the sagittal balance, in addition to its crucial role in evaluating the spinal deformities.

Lumbar spine chordoma

Radiology Case Reports, 2014
Chordoma is a rare tumor arising from notochord remnants in the spine. It is slow-growing, which makes it difficult to diagnose and difficult to follow up after treatment. Typically, it occurs in the base of the skull and sacrococcygeal spine; it rarely occurs in other parts of the spine.

Lumbar spine MRI versus non-lumbar imaging modalities in the diagnosis of sacral insufficiency fracture: a retrospective observational study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2018
Background Sacral insufficiency fractures (SIFs) are a common cause of lower back pain in the elderly. However, because clinical symptoms are frequently vague and nonspecific and can mimic lumbar spine pathologies, initial imaging in SIF patients is ...
