| Research Abstract |
We investigated the prevalence of low back pain and lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration in various athletes. Then, the risk factors of low back disorders were examined by kinematic and electromyographic analysis for the sports activities with high risk for low back disorder. Deep trunk muscle (local muscle) activity was measured by using wire electrodes during lumbar stabilization training and pelvic tilting motion which have attracted attention for the therapeutic exercise for low back pain, and then we identified more effective exercise to prevent low back disorders.
