Agnieszka Kaczmarska, Ph.D. Prague, 2012 Abstract Introduction: Impairment of lumbopelvic-hip stability, in particular of lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, abdominal muscles, back muscles, diapharagm and ligamentous weakness may result in deficient load transfer through this region and lead low back pain. Clinicians assessing and treating patients with LBP due to impairment of lumbopelvic- hip stability insight into the possible stabilizing role of lumbopelvic-hip structures is important. After several of researches, most experts agree that the impairment of lumbopelvic-hip stability cause of LBP. The theories included in this thesis proposal already have research background, both practically and theoretically by several authors. Despite many distinct theories, there are currently several accurate methods to the management and prevent progression of LBP due to lumbopelvic-hip insufficient stability. Aim: The aim is to present a group of concepts considering the stabilization system of the spine including the...
