Health of the spine: a review about our basis
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The foundation of the human body, the spine presents several characteristics that imply in everyday and sports practice. This structure, besides having ligaments and muscles, is also part of the nervous system, due to the presence of the spinal cord in this region, so there is a great risk when it comes to limb mobility when there is some type of severe spinal injury. The maintenance of the health of this structure is of fundamental importance for the athletic longevity of athletes and quality of life of non-athletes. The objective of the present study was to review important points related to the anatomical constitution, biomechanical and kinesiological aspects of the spine, besides highlighting important points related to causes of spinal dysfunctions such as: scoliosis, disk hernias and lumbago, Characteristics of acute injury processes suffered by the spine during work activities and during the practice of physical activity, also showing some ways of preventing and treating injuries in this structure. We used articles in the database: Scielo, Pubmed and SciencDirect resulting in a total of 22 articles used to produce this paper. Knowledge of the issues related to the morphology, kinetics and kinematics of the spine is of fundamental importance for professionals working with human movement.
