Variability of spinal stiffness and its relation to daily activities: A prospective cohort study using a mechanical assisted indentation technique
Our study demonstrates that daily activities (i.e., sedentary and standing) contribute to the variability of spinal stiffness during the day. Age and sex did not significantly impact stiffness variability. Further investigations are warranted to explore the clinical implications of stiffness changes.
