Kinematic characterization of clinically observed aberrant movement patterns in patients with non-specific low back pain: a cross-sectional study

摘要

BackgroundClinical observation of aberrant movement patterns during active forward bending is one criterion used to identify patients with non-specific low back pain suspected to have movement coordination impairment. The purpose of this study was to describe and quantify kinematic patterns of the pelvis and trunk using a dynamics systems approach, and determine agreement between clinical observation and kinematic classification.
