Lumbar segmental mobility disorders: comparison of two methods of defining abnormal displacement kinematics in a cohort of patients with non-specific mechanical low back pain

Table 8 Prevalence (%) of LSMDs in the RCLBP cohort under a normalised within-subjects model

Notes : LSR = lumbar segment rigidity; LSI = lumbar segmental instability; Calculation of LSMD at 'any level' was only performed in cases in which all four motion segments were analysed. 20 patients (18.7%) had both rotational LSR and rotational LSI, 26 patients (24.3%) had both translational LSR and translational LS.
