| Popis: | Shrinkage in stature is used in ergonomics and sports contexts as an index of load on the spine. Measurement is now computer-aided to facilitate data collection. Applications of the technique to sport and exercise have included evaluations of weight-training, running and jumping drills. The technique has also been employed in assessing procedures for spinal unloading such as gravity inversion. Future applications include investigations of procedures used to prevent back injury as well as studies of sports that impose high transient loads on the spine. |
