Lumbar and thoracic kinematics during step-up: Comparison of three-dimensional angles between patients with chronic low back pain and asymptomatic individuals

Julien Favre, Guillaume Christe

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been repeatedly observed in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), their exact nature is still unknown. Specifically, there is a need for comprehensive assessments of multisegment spinal angles during daily- ...

Active Stability of Glenohumeral Joint Diminishes during the End-range Motions

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram, Ehsan Sarshari

The lack of congruence between the involved articular surfaces causes the inherent instability of the glenohumeral joint. This joint is therefore the most commonly dislocated joint in the human body. Anterior instability accounts for over 90% of the should ...
