-
Feasibility study on the acquisition of lumbar spine kinematic data from upright magnetic resonance images obtained under heavy load carrying conditions. ⋯ Superior and inferior lumbar levels showed different kinematic behaviors under heavy load carrying conditions. These findings suggest a postural, lumbar flexion strategy aimed at centralizing a heavy posterior load over the base of support.
