Spinal stabilization—an update. Part 1—biomechanics (original) (raw)

2004, Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies

AI-generated Abstract

The paper discusses the concepts of spinal stability and instability, outlining the two types: whole body and segmental stability. It elaborates on Panjabi's three subsystems crucial for maintaining spinal stability—central nervous, osteoligamentous, and muscle subsystems. Additionally, it highlights the significance of motor control in injury prevention, the biomechanics of low back injuries due to end-range overload, and suggests interventions for improving spinal stability. The findings suggest that prolonged sitting harms lumbar stability, advocating for micro-breaks and muscle co-activation strategies.
