Biomechanics of the spine in sports.
An understanding of spinal mechanics is necessary for the treatment of athletic injuries. Recognizing and isolating the mechanism of injury through noninvasive techniques will lead to specific treatment for that injury. Because the prevention of physical injury is the goal of all health care professionals, the authors hope that the information will be helpful.
