• Description:
  Trunk lateral bending and axial twisting are common in the workplace, and are associated with an increase in the risk of low back pain (LBP). We investigated the motions of the lumbar spine and pelvis during these activities, in a laboratory setting, and determined if there are age-related differences. No age-related differences were found in the ranges-of-motion of the lumbar spine or pelvis segment in the primary planes of motion during trunk lateral bending and axial twisting. There were, however, some important differences in coupled motions, outside of the primary planes of trunk motion; where such differences were evident, coupled motions were larger among older individuals. These age-related differences in lumbo-pelvic kinematics, together with earlier evidence of differences in the active and passive mechanical behavior of lower back tissues, imply age-related differences in spinal loads that may contribute to a differential risk of LBP.
