Evaluation of forces on muscles and intervertebral joints during active kyphosis-deepening exercises in the dynamic individual stimulation and control for spine device (DISC4SPINE, D4S): a modeling approach—proof of concept study
The supported kneeling position employed in the PRESSIO method is characterised by reduced force exerted along the long axis of the spine, creating favourable conditions for correction. An increase in the average values of intervertebral forces was also observed in position 1 compared to position 0. Furthermore, active kyphosis of the spine caused an increase in muscle activity in the back extensor muscles (Erector Spinae, ES).
