Rate of lumbar paravertebral muscle fat infiltration versus spinal degeneration in asymptomatic populations: an age-aggregated cross-sectional simulation study (2016)
Journal Article
Crawford, R., Volken, T., Valentin, S., Melloh, M., & Elliott, J. (2016). Rate of lumbar paravertebral muscle fat infiltration versus spinal degeneration in asymptomatic populations: an age-aggregated cross-sectional simulation study. Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders, 11, Article 21. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13013-016-0080-0

Background The spinal column including its vertebrae and disks has been well examined and extensively reported in relation to age-aggregated degeneration. In contrast, paravertebral muscles are poorly represented in describing normative degeneration...

Influence of increased intraarticular pressure on the angular displacement of the isolated equine distal interphalangeal joint (2016)
Journal Article
Dippel, M., Ruczizka, U., Valentin, S., & Licka, T. F. (2016). Influence of increased intraarticular pressure on the angular displacement of the isolated equine distal interphalangeal joint. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 38, 54-63. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2016.01.006

The equine distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ) is commonly affected by palpable joint distension and degenerative joint disease, with microinstability considered a contributory factor. The aim of this kinematic study was to investigate DIPJ angles du...

Spinal motion and muscle activity during active trunk movements – comparing sheep and humans adopting upright and quadrupedal postures (2016)
Journal Article
Valentin, S., & Licka, T. F. (2016). Spinal motion and muscle activity during active trunk movements – comparing sheep and humans adopting upright and quadrupedal postures. PLOS ONE, 11(1), Article e0146362. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0146362

Sheep are used as models for the human spine, yet comparative in vivo data necessary for validation is limited. The purpose of this study was therefore to compare spinal motion and trunk muscle activity during active trunk movements in sheep and huma...
