This study from College of Medicine and College of Health and Human Performance, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida investigates how training and detraining effects lumbar extension strength.
This research project which involved patients in the Orthomed program at the University of California San Diego studied the efficacy of a conditioning program using the MedX Lumbar Extension Machine. The study tracked back strength, lift capacity, self-perception, pain rating, and activity level.
In the conducted research, lumbar strength was compared between healthy asymptomatic geriatric women and symptomatic geriatric females. The INJ group assessed the back strength of the two control groups using MedX lumbar extension machines. The findings revealed a notable increase in range of motion (ROM) and back strength following the use of these machines.
