Study Purpose

A preliminary study to compare continuous sagittal plane lumbar inter-vertebral kinematics in 10 healthy volunteers in recumbent and weight bearing configurations using quantitative fluoroscopy.

Background

There are no direct in-vivo comparisons between continuous weight bearing and non-weight bearing inter-vertebral kinematics in the same healthy individuals. This information will advance our knowledge of spine mechanics and provide reference values for clinical studies.
