Abstrakt		Objective: To determine the amount and pattern of lumbar spine motion during walking, bending forward and sitting to standing among healthy elderly population age 60 years and over and to determine if there is a gender difference in the amount and pattern of lumbar spine motion during those activities Method: 16 healthy elderly subjects (9 females, 7 males) mean age 70.2+/-5.69 participated in the study. Measurement were taken with the inclinometer to estimate static range of lumbar spine motion, and with a 3D Motion Analysis System to estimate the amount and pattern of lumbar spine motion during walking, bending forward and sitting to standing. Results: There was no statistical significance difference (p>0.05) in the static range of lumbar spine motion and in the amount and pattern of lumbar spine motion during walking between male and female subjects age 60 years and over. However there was statistical significance difference in the amount and pattern of lumbar spine motion during walking between individual subjects in the male, and between individual subjects in the female group (p<0.01). The mean values of lumbar spine motion during walking were 9.3+/-2.48° and 6.8+/-2.68° in the sagittal plane, 5.5+/-2.99° and 5.3+/-2.29° in the transverse plane and 6.1+/-3.58° and 7.0+/-2.20° in the coronal plane. The mean values of lumbar spine motion during bending forward were 36.5 +/12.87° and 23.6+/-5.01 ° in the sagittal plane, 5.6 +/-2.79° and 3.7 +/-2.46° in the transverse plane and 5.3 +/-1.94° and 6.7 +/-2.58° in the coronal plane for men and women, respectively. The mean values of lumbar spine motion during sitting to standing were 24.4 +/-8,34° and 26.7 +/-5.21° in the sagittal plane, 5.1 +/-2.49° and 5.3 +/-2.46° in the transverse plane and 6.7 +/-4.0° and 5.3 +/-2.37° in the coronal plane for men and women, respectively.
