Spine Stability - Low Back Pain |
| Purpose: |
|
The purpose of this study is to verify the existence of neuromuscular neutral zones(NNZs) in
humans, and develop non-invasive techniques to measure intervertebral kinematics of the
lumbar spine. The results will be used to accurately quantify NNZs in humans, and provide a
foundation for clinical trials on low back pain patients using this methodology.
