Journal ArticleDOI
Precision measurement of segmental motion from flexion-extension radiographs of the lumbar spine.
TL;DR: Preliminary results show that precision of the measurement of rotational and translational motion can be considerably enhanced by making allowance for radiographic distortional effects and by minimizing subjective influence in the measurement procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of overload injuries to thoracolumbar vertebrae and discs in persons exposed to heavy physical exertions or vibration at the workplace Part II Occurrence and magnitude of overload injury in exposed cohorts.
Paul Brinckmann,W. Frobin,M. Biggemann,Malcolm Tillotson,Kim Burton,C. Burke,Claire Dickinson,H. Krause,R. Pangert,U. Pfeifer,H. Römer,M. Rysanek,D. Weiß,T. Wilson,V. Zarach,G. Zerlett +15 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates, for the first time, objectively and quantitatively that spinal loading in certain industrial workplaces can result in damage to lumbar discs and suggests that existing ergonomic guidelines are justified to reduce the risk of irreversible spinal damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of overload injuries to thoracolumbar vertebrae and discs in persons exposed to heavy physical exertions or vibration at the work-place The shape of vertebrae and intervertebral discs - study of a young, healthy population and a middle-aged control group.
Paul Brinckmann,W. Frobin,M. Biggemann,D. Hilweg,S. Seidel,Kim Burton,Malcolm Tillotson,J. Sandover,J. Atha,R. Quinnell +9 more
TL;DR: Objective quantification of the prevalence of overload damage to the spines of persons exposed to heavy physical stresses and whole body vibration will form the basis of a scientific rationale for recommendation of safety guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Objective measurement of the height of lumbar intervertebral disks from lateral roentgen views of the spine
TL;DR: A new protocol for the measurement of disc height is given which is independent of distortion and can be employed to quantitatively assess overload injury to lumbar discs in compensation cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiologisches Muster lumbaler Bandscheibenhöhen
TL;DR: The radiological pattern of the "physiological sequence of lumbar disc height" leads to a relevant portion of false positive pathological results especially at L4/L5.
