The lumbar spine helps move the body. Motions of the lumbar spine include: Flexion and extension (front to back movement) Side bending Rotation These movements are performed by the muscles ...

There are two main causes: lumbar flexion and nerve tension. For example, bending forward (lumbar flexion) can increase ...

buttock and leg pain associated with low back pain. These symptoms are exacerbated by walking and relieved by flexion of the spine, such as is achieved by leaning on a shopping cart. The leg pain ...

Conclusions The findings of this first field study suggest that a well selected subgroup of cyclists with NSCLBP (FP) adopted and sustained increased lower lumbar flexion during cycling. This appears ...

In both groups fatigue results in increased lumbar spine flexion at the catch, which is greater on the ergometer. There is insufficient evidence to recommend one ergometer type (fixed vs dynamic) over ...
