Zedka et al[ 11] observed a decrease in velocity and range of trunk motion after saline injection of lumbar muscles similar to those observed in patients with low back pain.

However it is also possible the converse is true and that the reduced range of trunk segment motion in the transverse plane may have resulted in a reduced stride length.

The greatest decrements in isometric torque production occurred at test angles 12, 24 and 72 degrees corresponding to the mid-range of trunk motion and in full trunk flexion, respectively.

The simulation results show that the ZMP trajectory generated by the proposed fuzzy-logic generator increases the stability of the locomotion and thus reduces the motion range of the trunk significantly.

Although Hashimoto et al. (2004) study involved large sample size was (N = 108), the diameter range of the trunk was limited to a maximum of only 20.3 cm.

Previous research indicates trunk muscle strength, trunk coordination and trunk range of movement determine: a) trunk position which impacts on force application on the hand rims, b) trunk stability which decreases paradoxical movements, making arm movements and force application more effective and c) trunk movement which determines the range of the push rim that can be used in each push stroke.

This device restricted trunk range of motion and increased trunk stiffness by amounts similar to comparable orthoses on the market, but was rated significantly more comfortable to wear by subjects [ 4].

The secondary outcomes are range of motion of trunk flexion at 4-weeks, pain intensity and disability in evaluations at 3 and 6 months after randomisation, and quality of life in the evaluations at 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after randomisation.
