This study demonstrates that the ASLR has utility as a screen of lumbar spine stability and AB ability. The ASLR maneuver can assess control of lumbar rotational movements in the transverse plane. Finally, this study demonstrated that AB can measurably improve the rotational (transverse plane) stiffness of the lumbar spine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
