Abstract
Movement
dysfunction can present as a local problem (dysfunction of the
recruitment and motor control of the deep segmental stability system
resulting in poor control of the neutral joint position) or a global
problem (imbalance between the mono-articular stability muscles and
bi-articular mobility muscles with alterations in the functional
length and recruitment of these muscles) though both frequently occur
together. Movement dysfunction can be identified at segmental and
multisegmental levels, the present article aiming to present the case
of a cyclist with a multisegmental dysfunction of the lumbar spine.
In this case, poor postural alignment, poor movement habits of lumbar
spine and coxo-femural joint and high force repetitive overuse in
cycling contribute to the development of global stability system
dysfunction. The success of the management strategy of a chronic low
back pain condition greatly depends on the accurate identification of
the clinical problem, of the specific motor control dysfunction and
of the correction of the faulty movement strategies.
