Journal ArticleDOI
The role of paraspinal muscle spindles in lumbosacral position sense in individuals with and without low back pain.
TL;DR: Patients with low back pain have a less refined position sense than healthy individuals, possibly because of an altered paraspinal muscle spindle afference and central processing of this sensory input, and muscle vibration can be an interesting expedient for improving proprioception and enhancing local muscle control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proprioceptive weighting changes in persons with low back pain and elderly persons during upright standing
TL;DR: The results suggest that spinal pain and aging may lead to changes in postural control by refocusing proprioceptive sensitivity from the trunk to the ankles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of differences in peripheral muscle strength of lean versus obese women: an allometric approach.
TL;DR: When the independent effect of fat-free mass is removed, these strength measures, as well as oblique abdominal muscle and handgrip strength, turned out to be lower in obese women, which could be the reflection of the overall impairment of physical fitness as a consequence of obesity and its metabolic complications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persons with recurrent low back pain exhibit a rigid postural control strategy
TL;DR: It is concluded that young persons with recurrent LBP seem to use the same proprioceptive postural control strategy even in conditions when this ankle strategy is not the most appropriate such as standing on an unstable support surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coexistence of stability and mobility in postural control: evidence from postural compensation for respiration
Paul W. Hodges,Victor S. Gurfinkel,Victor S. Gurfinkel,Simon Brumagne,Simon Brumagne,Terrence C Smith,P C Cordo +6 more
TL;DR: The present data suggest that the postural disturbance that results from respiratory movement is matched, at least partly, and counteracted by small angular displacements of the lower trunk and lower limbs.
