Biomechanical Changes

Introduction: Considering the osteopatic reasoning, and possible to establish a two-way interaction of direct contact or indirect of the respiratory diaphragm Several abdominal and thoracic viscera, as well as, of your skeletal inserts relations. Objective: This study aimed to investigate how anatomical and physiological relations of the diaphragm in both painful processes of the spine, in bodies Associates. Method: This study was a literature review, with searching online data PubMed, the published articles in the last ten years as associating keywords this study. Results: Ten articles contemplated the criteria for inclusion and exclusion this research and related disorders such as diaphragmatic as possible causes of low back and neck pain, and gastroesophageal reflux disease, as well as, stressed its importance as respiratory-venous-lymphatic pump. Conclusion: The respiratory diaphragm is no link anatomical and physiological interaction between the various body systems, and therefore, may be involved in dysfunctional chains que manifest signs and symptoms and local said. It is involved in several causes of pain on which to observe biomechanical changes in functional or column viscera next or correlated.

Background: A standard spinal traction (ST) device was designed to straighten the spine without considering physiological lumbar lordosis. Using lordotic curve-controlled traction (LCCT), which maintains the lordotic curve during traction, the traction force would be applied to the posterior spinal structure effectively. Thus, the purpose of our study was to evaluate real-time biomechanical changes while applying the LCCT and ST. Methods: In this study, 40 subjects with mild non-radicular low back pain (LBP) were included. The participants underwent LCCT and ST in random order. Anterior and posterior intervertebral distance, ratios of anterior/posterior intervertebral distance (A/P ratio), and lordotic angles of intervertebral bodies (L2~L5) were measured by radiography. Results: Mean intervertebral distances were greater during LCCT than those measured prior to applying traction (p < 0.05). Mean A/P ratio was also significantly greater during LCCT than during ST or initially (p < 0.05). In particular, for the L4/5 intervertebral segment, which is responsible for most of the lordotic curve, mean LCCT angle was similar to mean lordotic angle in the standing position (10.9°). Conclusions: Based on measurements of radiologic geometrical changes with real-time clinical setting, the newly developed LCCT appears to be a useful traction device for increasing intervertebral disc spaces by maintaining lordotic curves.
