Alterations and Asymmetries in Trunk Mechanics and Neuromuscular Control among Persons with Lower-Limb Amputation: Exploring Potential Pathways of Low Back Pain

Alterations and Asymmetries in Trunk Mechanics and Neuromuscular Control among Persons with Lower-Limb Amputation: Exploring Potential Pathways of Low Back Pain

Low back pain (LBP) is a substantial secondary disability among persons with lower-limb amputation (LLA). Abnormal mechanics of movement subsequent to LLA may increase the stability demands on the spinal column, and repetitive exposures to such abnormal movements may alter trunk passive properties a...
