Sažetak
Spinal and pelvis motion has been studied by a variety of different methods, the majority of which have a number of limitations. The present study investigated motion characteristics of the lumbar spine and pelvis using a three-dimensional optoelectronic system. The aim of our study was to determine kinematic parameters of spine and pelvis during trunk flexion, extension and lateral bending in normal, healthy subjects. Kinematic motion analysis was performed on 63 asymptomatic volounteers for four different trunk motions. During lateral bending female subjects had statistically significant higher values of vertebral arc with respect to male subjects.
