This study constitutes the largest analysis of the in vivo lumbar motion currently available and covers a wide range of clinical scenarios in terms of age and degeneration. Findings confirmed that ageing determines a reduction in the mobility independently of degeneration and that in degenerative levels, centres of rotation are dispersed around the centre of the intervertebral space.
