Effects of prone spinal extension exercise on passive lumbar extension range of motion.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of prone spinal extension exercises for increasing passive lumbar extension range of motion in healthy young adults. Eighteen healthy female and 18 healthy male volunteers were divided randomly into control groups (women, n = 10; men, n = 8) and experimental groups (women, n = 8; men, n = 10). The experimental groups performed 20 repe...
متن کاملLumbar Spinal Instability: An Updated Rewiew
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, instability was defined as an abnormal response to applied loads, characterized by movement in the motion segment beyond normal constraints in 1989. Segmental instability has been defined as occurring in patients with low back problems and whose clinical status is unstable, with symptoms fluctuating between mild and severe symptoms in r...
متن کاملMicro Lumbar Decompression for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis was described, for the first time, as one of the causes of neural compression by Bailey and Casamajor (1) in 1911. Later, in 1954, it was described by Verbiest (2) as the typical clinical presentation of bilateral neurogenic claudication, which is provoked by prolonged standing and lower back extension and relieved by sitting and flexing the lumbar spine. Degenerative lumbar spi...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of the lumbar extension-loading test in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND The gait-loading test is a well known, important test with which to assess the involved spinal level in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. The lumbar extension-loading test also functions as a diagnostic loading test in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis; however, its efficacy remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of the lumbar extensio...
متن کاملDynamic Stabilization for Degenerative Spondylolisthesis and Lumbar Spinal Instability
Lumbar interbody fusion is a widely accepted surgical procedure for patients with lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis and lumbar spinal instability in the active age group. However, in elderly patients, it is often questionable whether it is truly necessary to construct rigid fixation for a short period of time. In recent years, we have been occasionally performing posterior dynamic stabiliza...
