Clinical Scenario Low back pain (LBP) is a common condition for the general population with 29% of adults having LBP within the last 3 months. 1 A deadlift is described as a free weight exercise in which a barbell is lifted from the floor in a continuous motion by extending the knees and hips. 2

Low back pain (LBP) is the most disabling musculoskeletal condition experienced by the aging population ( Hoy et al., 2014 ; Macfarlane et al., 2012 ). However, researchers are still in the beginning of exploring the characteristics of LBP associated with this age group. A recent study showed that

Low back pain (LBP) is a common ailment which leads to decreased quality of life and increased disability. 1 LBP is defined as spinal pain below the ribcage and above the gluteal folds. 2 Up to 33% of the general population will experience multiple episodes of LBP within the course of a single

Low back pain is currently a significant health problem worldwide. The Global Burden of Disease Study reported that low back pain was the largest contributor to years living with disability. 1 In Japan, a study showed that low back pain was the leading cause (65%) of musculoskeletal chronic pain 2
Three-Dimensional Trunk Kinematics and Low Back Pain in Elite Female Fast Bowlers
Max C. Stuelcken, René E.D. Ferdinands, and Peter J. Sinclair
This study aimed to investigate the bowling techniques of female fast bowlers and identify any association between a history of low back pain (LBP) and the movement patterns of the thorax relative to the pelvis during the delivery stride of the bowling action. Three-dimensional kinematic data were collected from 26 elite Australian female fast bowlers using an eight-camera Vicon motion analysis system. Nineteen bowlers used a mixed action, 6 bowlers used a semiopen action, and 1 bowler used a side-on action. Fourteen bowlers had a history of LBP. Eight of these 14 bowlers used a mixed action, and bowlers with more shoulder counterrotation were no more likely to have a history of LBP. Bowlers with a history of LBP positioned the thorax in more left lateral flexion relative to the pelvis between 73–79% of the delivery stride, and moved the thorax through a significantly greater range of lateral flexion relative to the pelvis during the delivery stride compared with bowlers with no history of LBP. This information will give coaches and support staff a better understanding of female bowling technique and may facilitate better screening practices for elite female cricketers.
Lower Quadrant Swing Biomechanics Identifies Golfers With Increased Risk of Low Back Pain: A Prospective Longitudinal Cohort Study
Samantha-lynn Quinn, Benita Olivier, and Warrick McKinon
Golf is a very popular sport with significant health benefits. 1 Golf does, however, pose a moderate risk for developing injury, which occurs predominately in the lower back. 2 , 3 This risk increases, compared with recreational golfers, in elite golfers, who have a low back pain prevalence of
Low Back Pain in Athletes
David M. Kahler
The complaint of persistent low back pain in an athlete is usually related to an identifiable structural disorder. As with all other medical conditions, effective treatment relies on an accurate diagnosis. Certain sporting activities are associated with characteristic acquired lesions; this knowledge, when combined with a thorough history and physical examination, will often dictate when the clinician should refer an athlete for further testing. Most causes of back pain in athletes can be treated nonsurgically if they are identified early and treated appropriately. The common congenital abnormalities, acquired conditions, and overuse syndromes causing low back pain in athletes will be discussed, along with appropriate diagnostic tests and treatment regimens.
Low Back Pain and the Social Determinants of Health: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis: A Critically Appraised Paper
J.C. Andersen and Heather VanOpdorp
The results of the systematic review with narrative synthesis concluded that there is evidence to support that meaningful relationships between social determinants of health (SDH) and chronic low back pain (CLBP) prevalence and/or patient outcomes are present in adult populations. However, there

Low back pain has a worldwide and a mean lifetime prevalence of 18% and 39%, respectively. 1 , 2 This symptom can be defined as pain concentrated between the posterior lower ribs and the inferior gluteal region. 3 Additionally, low back pain without a known cause is considered to be nonspecific
Hip Abductor Fatigability and Recovery Are Related to the Development of Low Back Pain During Prolonged Standing
Daniel Viggiani and Jack P. Callaghan
Low back pain (LBP) continues to be a burden on society 1 , 2 despite increasing knowledge on the topic. Identifying homogenous groups of LBP patients is necessary to reduce the inconsistency or variability in findings regarding factors affecting the causes, identifiers, and treatments of LBP. 3
