Pelvic unlevelness in low back patients - biomechanics and EMG time-frequency analysis: Winner of the 1995 Vienna Award for Physical Medicine Purpose The aims of this study were to investigate: a) the external forces at the feet and L3-L4 level using two force plates, b) the internal forces of the spine using surface EMG of the erector spine during isometric contraction or sudden load; c) to define how these responses were affected by expectancy, fatigue, artificial LLI, and rehabilitation.
The AcroMed Award 1995
International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine
Unexpected load and asymmetric posture as etiologic factors in low back pain - the AcroMed Prize for Spinal Research 1995 Unexpected loads, which often occur in the working environment, can lead to high forces in the spine and, thus, may be a cause of low back injury. This paper discusses the effect of "sudden load" on the erector spine reaction and amplitude. Muscle responses were mediated by several factors, including fatigue, posture, expectation and rehabilitation, in chronic low back pain.
