ABSTRACT The use of hot pack is a common superficial thermotherapy strategy and one of its benefits is the increase of muscle flexibility. However, there is a lack of information about the effects of the heat pack alone, without being used in association with other therapeutic interventions, in the flexibility of the lumbar region. The aim of this study was to compare the effects generated by the application of three different pack on the flexibility of the lower backs of healthy students. Three sessions of 15 minutes of superficial heat through a hot pack (moist heat pack-MHP, seed pack-SP or

Abstract:

Flexibility refers to the range of possible movement about a joint and an elongation of muscle to the maximum to vary one's physical working environment to get freedom of movement. Interventions that can be given are Pilates Exercise and PNF Stretching. The result of hypothesis test with paired sample t-test on Group Pilates Exercise got increase 9.64 cm (p= 0.000) while at Group PNF Stretching got increase 10.75 cm (p= 0.000). Independent t-test was used to examine the increasing difference between the Group Pilates Exercise and Group PNF Stretching with result p= 0.402. These results indicat

Abstract:

Background: Surfing is a sport that requires alternating high, medium, and low intensity at one time. Surfing combines three phases, namely paddling, pop-up, and wave-ride. The surf pop-up phase is characterized by a change from a paddling position to a standing position on the surfboard in one dynamic motion. During this transition, a surfer must move 75% of his body weight in less than one second. Pop-up movement is a unique challenge for the human motor system because it must be done quickly, with sufficient strength, on a moving and unstable surface that requires the readiness of the bio m

BACKGROUND:Nonspecific low back pain can become chronic over time. However, monitoring the chronicity of low back pain symptoms can be a major challenge for health professionals. AIM:To verify the effect of acute low back pain on the risk of chronicity and on clinical-functional changes in the lumbar spine in CrossFit practitioners. METHOD:A total of Sixty CrossFit practitioners were divided into two groups: the low back pain group–GL (n=30) and the control group–CG (n=30). The pain was assessed using the VAS and lumbar spine flexibility was assessed using the Schober and Stibor tests. The ris

Abstract:

Lumbar discomfort is a major problem due to its harmful effects on health and high frequency in the general population. Depending on where and how long the pain lasts, there are three general categorizations for Lumbar discomfort: acute less than 6 weeks, sub-acute 6 to 12 weeks, and chronic more than 12 weeks. Several theories concerning the cause of nonspecific LBP feature poor posture, low body mass, hamstring flexibility, psychological discomfort, diminished trunk extensor endurance, and faulty muscular control of trunk. Pain in the lower back is a challenging illness which can result from

Abstract:

The goal of this review is to discuss the mechanisms of postural degeneration, particularly the loss of lumbar lordosis commonly observed in the elderly in the context of evolution, mechanical, and biological studies of the human spine and to synthesize recent research findings to clinical management of postural malalignment. Lumbar lordosis is unique to the human spine and is necessary to facilitate our upright posture. However, decreased lumbar lordosis and increased thoracic kyphosis are hallmarks of an aging human spinal column. The unique upright posture and lordotic lumbar curvature of t

Abstract:

Postural characteristics and three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of the lumbar spine were examined during classic ballet gestures in 25 expert dancers (17 females, 8 males; mean age, 21 ± 4 yrs). The 3D displacements of the thorax to the pelvis were sampled with a 3D-electrogoniometer during right and left arabesque, developpe a la seconde, and pied-en-main, and a photographic technique was used to calculate lower-limb elevation, shoulder inclination, and tragus or C7 displacement. The incidence of low-back (43%) and hip pain (40%) was large. Arabesque was characterized by lumbar extension (20-2
