differences in symmetry of Lumbar Region passive tissue characteristics between people with and people without low back pain
2008Co-Authors: Sara P Gombatto, Barbara J Norton, Sara A Scholtes, Linda R Van DillenAbstract:Background Several investigators have suggested that passive tissue characteristics of the Lumbar Region may be altered in people with low back pain. Passive stiffness of the Lumbar Region has been examined during physiological movements in healthy individuals and intersegmental spine mobility and stiffness have been examined in people with and people without low back pain. However, no investigators have examined differences in passive tissue characteristics of the Lumbar Region during a physiological movement between people with and people without low back pain.

validity and reliability of a system to measure passive tissue characteristics of the Lumbar Region during trunk lateral bending in people with and people without low back pain
2008Co-Authors: Sara P Gombatto, Barbara J Norton, Joseph W Klaesner, Scott D Minor, Linda R Van DillenAbstract:The current study examined the validity and reli- ability of a new system that was developed to measure Lumbar Region passive stiffness and end range of motion during a trunk lateral bending movement in vivo. Variables measured included force, end range Lumbar Region motion, torque, Lumbar Region stiffness, and passive elastic energy. Validity of the force measurements was examined using standard weights. Validity of Lumbar Region angle measurements was examined using an instrumented trunk with an electrogoniometer. Reliability of the measurements between trials within a session was exam- ined in a sample of 50 people (25 men, 25 women; mean +/- standard deviation age = 30.7 +/- 8.9 yr); 31 people reported a history of chronic or recurrent low back pain (LBP) and 19 reported no prior history of LBP. The end range Lumbar Region motion and force measurements demonstrated an excellent lin- ear relationship with the criterion standard measures. Average error between the criterion standard and observed measure- ments was minimal for all measurements. For reliability test- ing, the majority of intraclass correlation coefficient values were >0.75. The validity and reliability of the current system are sufficient to examine Lumbar Region stiffness and end range of motion in people with and people without LBP.

patterns of Lumbar Region movement during trunk lateral bending in 2 subgroups of people with low back pain
2007Co-Authors: Sara P Gombatto, David R Collins, Shirley A Sahrmann, Jack R Engsberg, Linda R Van DillenAbstract:Background and Purpose The movement system impairment (MSI) system is one proposed system for classifying low back pain (LBP) problems. Prior clinical data and observations for the MSI system suggest that different LBP subgroups demonstrate different patterns of movement during clinical tests, such as trunk lateral bending (TLB). The purpose of this study, therefore, was to examine the validity of the observation that Lumbar Region (LR) movement patterns during TLB are different between 2 subgroups of people with LBP: Lumbar rotation with extension (RotExt) and Lumbar rotation (Rot). Subjects Participants were 44 people (28 men and 16 women; age [X±SD], 28.5±8.4 years) with chronic or recurrent LBP. Methods Each participant's LBP problem was classified with the MSI system. Kinematic variables were measured, and LBP symptoms were recorded during the TLB test. Results People in the 2 LBP subgroups demonstrated different patterns of LR movement during TLB. People in the Rotation With Extension subgroup displayed an asymmetric (right versus left) pattern of LR movement across the TLB movement, whereas people in the Rotation subgroup displayed a symmetric pattern of LR movement. Equal proportions of people in the 2 subgroups reported an increase in symptoms with the TLB test. Discussion and Conclusion The patterns of LR movement across the TLB movement were different in 2 subgroups of people with LBP. The difference in the LR movement patterns between subgroups may be an important factor to consider in specifying the details of the interventions for these 2 LBP problems.

A rare case of non-traumatic spinal epidural hematoma in Lumbar Region associated with apixaban therapy
2021Co-Authors: Petr Krupa, Martin Kanta, Tomas Hosszu, Jiri Soukup, Pavel Ryska, Petr Dulicek, Tomas CesakAbstract:Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is a very rare clinical entity with potential diagnostic difficulties and which can result in severe neurological deficit. The etiology of this rare condition is largely not known, but with potential predisposition in patients on anticoagulation medication. This includes the novel anticoagulants with direct inhibition of the factor Xa mechanism (DOACs). These medications are supposed to have more predictable pharmacokinetics with fewer severe haemorrhagic adverse events in comparison with standard warfarin therapy. However, in the last few years, an increasing number of case reports have been published of haemorrhage into the central nervous system. We present a case of non-traumatic spinal epidural hematoma in the Lumbar Region in a patient on chronic apixaban therapy. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first described SSEH in the Lumbar Region associated with apixaban therapy.

The examination of biophysical parameters of skin (transepidermal water loss, skin hydration and pH value) in different body Regions of ponies.
2012Co-Authors: MACIEJ SZCZEPANIK, Ł. Adamek, P. Wilkolek, Marek Pluta, Z. PomorskiAbstract:The purpose of this study was to evaluate transepidermal water loss, skin hydration and skin pH in normal ponies. Sixteen ponies of both sexes were examined in the study. Measurements were taken from seven different sites: the neck Region, the shoulder, thorax, Lumbar, inguinal, lip Region and the auricle. In each of the Regions transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration and skin pH were measured. For transepidermal water loss, the lowest values were observed in the Lumbar Region (9.71g/hm2), while the highest values were observed in the lip Region (22.35 g/hm2). In the case of skin hydration the lowest values were observed for the thorax Region (2.13 CU), and the highest for the lip Region (41.81 CU). For skin pH, the lowest results were obtained in the Lumbar Region (6.93), and the highest in the lip Region (7.96).

the examination of biophysical parameters of skin transepidermal water loss skin hydration and ph value in different body Regions of normal cats of both sexes
2011Co-Authors: MACIEJ SZCZEPANIK, P. Wilkolek, ł Adamek, Z. PomorskiAbstract:The purpose of this study was to evaluate transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration and skin pH in normal cats. Twenty shorthaired European cats of both sexes were examined in the study. Measurements were taken from five different sites: the Lumbar Region, the axillary fossa, the inguinal Region, the ventral abdominal Region and the left thoracic Region. In each of the Regions, TEWL, skin hydration and skin pH were measured. The highest TEWL value was observed in the axillary fossa (18.22g/h/m(2)) and the lowest in the Lumbar Region (10.53g/h/m(2)). The highest skin hydration was found in the inguinal Region (18.29CU) and the lowest in the Lumbar Region (4.62CU). The highest skin pH was observed in the inguinal Region (6.64) and the lowest in the Lumbar Region (6.39). Statistically significant differences in TEWL were observed between the Lumbar Region and the left side of the thorax Region (P=0.016), the axillary fossa (P=0.0004), the ventral Region (P=0.005), and the inguinal Region (P=0.009). There were significant differences in skin hydration between the Lumbar Region and the left thorax (P=0.000003), the axillary fossa (P=0.002), the ventral abdomen (P=0.03), and the inguinal Region (P=0.0003) as well as between the thorax and the ventral abdomen (P=0.005). TEWL was higher in females (15g/h/m(2)) than in males (4.57g/h/m(2)). Skin hydration was higher in females (13.89CU) than in males (12.28CU). Significant differences were not found between males and females for TEWL and skin hydration. Skin pH was higher in males (6.94) than in females (6.54), which was significant (P=0.004).
