Association Among Dyskinesia of the Lumbar Spine Segment, Inclination Angle of the Lumbosacral Spine, and Low Back Pain in Young Athletes: A Predictive Correlational Study

This predictive correlational study aimed to investigate the association among low back pain (LBP), dyskinesia of the lumbosacral spine segment (determined by inertial sensors), and inclination angles: the inclination angle of the lumbosacral spine (alpha), the inclination angle of the thoracolumbar spine (beta), and the inclination angle of the upper thoracic section (gamma). Our hypothesis was that young athletes with LBP had a particular dyskinesia: nonphysiological movements of the lumbosacral segment of the spine.
