Abstract
<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" id="d8553682e77">The
relationship between biomechanical instability and degenerative changes in the
lumbar spine in chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients remains controversial. The main
objective of this retrospective radiographical study was to evaluate changes in kinematics
at different lumbar levels (in particular the L5-S1 level) with progressive grades
of disc degeneration and facet joint osteoarthritis in CLBP patients.
