“…Peripheral adaptations in patients with ACLR might arise from surgery-related changes in sensory signals informing the brain on the onset of leg fall. Beside its mechanical role, the ACL is recognized as a major sensory structure, which contains receptors that have low thresholds to mechanical stimulation, and others that are activated only when the tension of the ligament is very high (Sjölander et al 2002;Solomonow 2006). Afferents emanating from joint mechanoreceptors have been shown to project to spinal motoneurons and interneurons, as well to a number of supraspinal structures (Sjölander et al 2002).…”

“…Further, when sitting for prolonged periods, other potential pain-or injury-generating mechanisms are plausible. For instance, static loading of low-back tissues in sitting may interfere with disc nutrientwaste exchange (Holm & Nachemson, 1983), reduce lumbar extensor muscle oxygenation (McGill, Hughson, & Parks, 2000), or have potentially adverse changes in the mechanical and sensory-motor functioning of low-back tissues during and following sitting (Solomonow, 2006). It is not yet known in what postures these hypothetical pain-and/or in-jury-generating mechanisms may be applicable in sitting, but there is evidence of passive tissue loading at lumbar flexion angles comparable to those measured in this study (Callaghan & Dunk, 2002).…”

Understanding factors that influence preferred sitting postures is considered important to prevent low-back pain (LBP) associated with seated exposures. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of gender and flexibility (hip, hamstring, and low-back) on lumbo-pelvic postures adopted when performing laboratory-simulated computer work and automobile driving. Ten female and 9 male volunteers were exposed to 10 minutes each of the abovementioned sitting conditions. Sagittal lumbo-pelvic kinematics were recorded during each sitting condition. Correlation analyses were performed between lumbo-pelvic postures and various measures of hip, hamstring, and low-back flexibility. When driving, females exhibited 9.8 degrees more posterior pelvic tilt (p = 0.0329) and 10.5 degrees more lumbar flexion (p = 0.0116) than males with respect to their lumbo-pelvic alignments in upright standing. When performing seated computer work, it was males who experienced greater posterior pelvic tilt (p = 0.0048). Individuals with greater hip flexibility, typically females, adopted lumbar flexion postures closer to their voluntary end-range while driving (r = 0.5709; p = 0.0107). Individuals who exhibited greater posterior pelvic tilt in office chair sitting, typically males, were those with less hip (r = -0.5484; p = 0.0150) and hamstring (r = -0.4690; p = 0.0496) flexibility. Given that differences exist between males and females with respect to various indices of hip, hamstring, and low-back flexibility, it is possible that gender-based differences in seated postures are related to inherent differences in flexibility between the sexes. These findings suggest that strategies to prevent LBP associated with sitting may depend on both individual flexibility characteristics and the type of seated exposure.

“…Despite the above uncertainties, widely reported deficits in postural control and altered patterns of muscle response to sudden trunk loading among patients with LBP are hypothesized to be, at least in part, the result of injury to mechanoreceptors embedded in the soft tissues surrounding the lumbar spine. However, an alternative hypothesis would be that impaired spinal proprioception is a pre-existing risk factor that predisposes individuals to LBI (22,23,29).…”

AIm: Examining lumbar repositioning error (RE) using a tape measure in nonspecific low back pain (NLBP) and control groups and determining whether RE is different in subjects with nonspecific back pain than in controlled subjects. mAterIAl and methOds:The study was totally applied to 36 subjects of whom 18 were healthy subjects and 18 were NLBP patients. The ability of the subjects to take the targeted positions was assessed. In subjects with NLBP the evaluation of the pain was assessed by using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and disability measurement was made using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).results: RE was found in all the measurements except for lumbar flexion with eyes open(p=0.15) in control group (p<0.05). There were RE for all the measurements in NLBP grpup (p<0.05). When RE of two groups compared only lumbar flexion with eyes open measurement (p = 0.04) in NLBP group was higher then control group.COnClusIOn: As a result of our study, it has been seen that RE measurement of the lumbar spine with tape measure, which is cheap and clinically practical, is a reliable method, and can be used in the assessment of NLBP patients and in the determination of the rehabilitation program.KeywOrds: Low back pain, Reposition error, Posture, Range of motion ÖZ AmAÇ: Şerit mezura kullanarak nonspecific low back pain (NLBP)' li hastalarda sağlıklı kişilere göre repozisyon hatalarının olup olmadığını incelemektir. yÖntem ve GereÇ: Çalışmaya 18'i sağlıklı, 18'i NLBP'li olmak üzere 36 kişi alındı. Kişilerin hedef pozisyonu alabilmeleri değerlendirildi. NLBP hastalarda ağrı görsel analog skalasıyla ve özürlülük ölçümleri Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) ile yapıldı.BulGulAr: NLBP'li grupta tüm değerlendirme parametrelerinde repozisyon hatası bulunurken (p<0.05), kontrol grubunda gözler açık lumbar flexion değerlendirmesi (p=0.15) dışındaki tüm ölçümlerde repozisyon hatası vardı (p<0.05). İki grubun repozisyon hatası ölçümleri karşılılaştırıldığında sadece gözler açık olarak yapılan lumbar flexion ölçümünde fark saptandı (p=0.04). Repozisyon ağrı ve özürlülük düzeyleri arasında anlamlı koresyon bulunmadı (p>0.05).sOnuÇ: Lomber spinanın repozisyon ölçümünde şerit mezura kullanımı ucuz olup, klinik olarak pratik ve güvenilir bir metotdur. NLBP 'li hastaların değerlendirmesinde kullanılacak güvenilir bir metoddur.
