This research study aimed to demonstrate the efficacy of the MedX Lumbar Extension machine in strengthening the lumbar region of the spine. The method of study was by comparing the machine and its success to previous years without the use of the MedX machine. The study uses three past case… Read More »Specific Spinal Exercise: Three Case Studies Using the MedX Lumbar Extension Machine
The study, “Limited Range of Motion Lumbar Extension Strength Training” is from the Official Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. Range of motion in lumbar extension strength training are explored. Patients with lower back pain who have lower range of motion use isometric testing and exercises to try… Read More »Limited Range of Motion Lumbar Extension Strength Training
In this research study, strengthening of the low back is demonstrated to treat and prevent low back pain. Rehabilitation through lumbar extension strengthening is believed to improve strength, endurance, and mobility. Improvements in low back pain show potential for the reduction of pain for patients.
This research study aimed to determine how exercise and strengthening can increase lumbar extension strength in isolated areas. Two groups, a training group and a control group, were observed as the training group engaged in exercise throughout the duration of the study. The data and results were recorded.
This research study aimed to observe the effects of different levels of resistance training on a subject’s strength and muscle thickness. The subjects engaged in different training exercises and their results were recorded throughout the study.
This study is from a physical therapy research paper which examines the impact of isometric lumbar extension torque across 12- and 20-week periods. Participants were put into 5 training groups after completing the 12- or 20-week training. The participants were tested in a seated position at 7 different angles at… Read More »Effect of Resistance Training on Lumbar Extension Torque Production
In this study, the two different restraint systems to isolate the lumbar extensors were explored. The two different restraint systems are used through the pelvic stabilization by preventing movements in the lower part of your body while seated. Restraints are located on the knees and on the bottom of the… Read More »Comparison of Restraint Systems for Pelvic Stabilization
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… Read More »Comparison of Female Geriatric Lumbar Extension Strength
This research study included patients with non-spinal cord injuries of the cervical spine. Patients engaged in strength and range of motion exercises and were observed over the period of the study. Data and research progress was documented throughout the study.
This research study included patients recommended for spinal surgery to see if they can avoid the surgery by undergoing an aggressive strengthening program. The study tracked the patients throughout the strength program and documented the success.
