Ovine locomotion studies are rare, despite their relevance for medical research. The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate habituation and temporospatial parameters during treadmill walking of seven Austrian Mountain sheep. Sheep were naïv...

Concentric and eccentric muscle activity of erector spinae are not correlated during full range flexion-extension (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Valentin, S., & Licka, T. (2014, July). Concentric and eccentric muscle activity of erector spinae are not correlated during full range flexion-extension. Paper presented at XX Congress of the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology (IS

AIM: To investigate erector spinae muscle activity in healthy young and mature females relative to trunk movement in forward flexion at stance METHODS: In ten female participants (young 18-25yrs, n=5; mature 45-60yrs, n=5) left and right erector spi...

Rectus abdominis activity decreases relative to erector spinae with maturity despite similar muscle volumes and lumbar posture at stance (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Valentin, S., Elliott, J., & Licka, T. (2014, July). Rectus abdominis activity decreases relative to erector spinae with maturity despite similar muscle volumes and lumbar posture at stance. Paper presented at XX Congress of the International Society of E

AIM: To compare trunk muscle volume, muscle activity and lumbar spine posture in young and mature participants without low back pain. METHODS: Twenty-four participants were allocated to a young group (YG: age 18-25yrs, n=12) or mature group (MG: age...

Age and side-related morphometric MRI evaluation of trunk muscles in people without back pain (2014)
Journal Article

This study evaluated lumbar spine muscle volume and Muscle Fatty Infiltrate (MFI) across two age groups of healthy adults. Twenty-four participants (young group – YG: age 18–25, n = 12; mature group – MG: age 45–60, n = 12) without low back pain unde...
