Latent Class and Functional Data Analyses for the Investigation of Stiffness in Low Back Pain
DownloadFall 2018
Low back pain (LBP) is known to be a prevalent, debilitating and costly condition, not to mention the difficulty clinicians have treating it. But progress has been made, as it has recently been shown that instrumented L3 indentation generates force-displacement (F-D) data that is associated with...

Introduction: This study sought to investigate the effects of soft tissue on measurements of a spinal vibration response using skin-mounted accelerometers and a non-invasive contact tip. Methods: Vibration was applied to the spine of porcine and human cadavers. Measurements of the spinal...
