Background: A Pre/Post-Test Cohort investigating the effect of spinal and abdominal muscles fatigue on spinalcurvatures.Method and Results: The effect of spinal and abdominal muscle fatigue on pelvic tilt, trunk inclination and the lordoticangle, and on the rotation of the T6, L2 and L4 vertebras was investigated in 10 healthy individuals. Abdominal andspinal muscles fatigue had a significant effect (p <0.05) on pelvic tilt, trunk inclination and lordotic angle.Conclusion: Application of simple and quick fatigue tests resulted in changes in all static parameters (pelvic tilt,trunk inclination and lordotic angle) as measured by the DIERS system.
