Prolonged or repetitive spine flexion induces creep deformation of posterior spine tissues allowing for increased intervertebral motion beyond 'normal' limits, which may influence sub-regional (intersegmental) spine motion during subsequent manual lifting tasks. Using spine skin-surface kinematics, intersegmental lumbar spine motion was recorded over 20 minutes of prolonged static spine flexion and a subsequent manual lifting task (2 lifts every 3 minutes, 30 minutes total) in 14 participants. Results demonstrated that mid to lower lumbar intersegmental levels (i.e. L-2/L(3)to L-4/L-5) experienced the greatest overall creep deformation and range of motion during both prolonged flexion and manual lifting; however, overall range of motion during manual lifting was unaffected. Additionally, creep deformation did not completely recover within 30 minutes. Future work should continue to investigate the influence of this residual creep, as well as how overall creep deformation impacts spine neuromuscular control and stability, and ultimately the development of low back disorders. Practitioner summary:Mid to lower lumbar spine levels (i.e. L-2/L(3)to L-4/L-5) experienced the greatest creep deformation and range of motion during both prolonged flexion and manual lifting. Repeated lifting following prolonged flexion may limit creep recovery; however, overall lifting kinematic motion remained unchanged.
