Biomechanics of the spine in sport. Mechanical low back pain
A bibliographic review of the biomechanics of the main sports vertebral injuries observed in athletes in the technical training programs of Catalonia and the ARC program (High Performance of Catalonia) is carried out. Different articles and books on sports medicine have been reviewed, avoiding introducing purely traumatological pathologies that would escape the main objectives of this work. We try to classify spinal pathologies from a point of view of the biomechanical origin of the injury through clear and concise explanations, accompanied by appropriate iconography.
Sports medicine would be the equivalent of the athlete's family medicine and what we aim to do is provide orthopedic concepts of the main pathologies of the athlete's spine that a podiatrist may encounter in his daily practice. We totally avoid pathology of the spinal column due to trauma.
Los conceptos que introducimos de una forma muy generalizada siempre siguen el mismo esquema: descripción de la patología, eitología, clínica, diagnóstico y tratamiento genérico. Se menciona qué deportes son más susceptibles de producir lesión vertebral, así como su mecanismo biomecánico de producción.
