Low Back Pain Prevention Through Core Stabilizaion
Rhetorical Analysis of Low back stability: from formal description to issues for performance and rehabilitation
In the article I chose the author, Stuart McGill, wanted to look at low back stability and how instability along with improper technique can lead to damage in the lower back causing pain. His target audience was other researchers in the same field so that further research could be done as well as other professionals looking at research articles to gain further knowledge. He organizes the research article in a great way because he first explains what causes instability, what stability is, and how someone can train their muscles to become more stable. While being very complex in his writing he effectively used pictures to demonstrate the activities such as side bridges, modified curl ups, and bird dogs. Since this is a science based article and references are necessary, he effectively used previous studies by providing references from previous studies. While in my opinion this is a pretty good article there can be some improvements to it. For me I would have included more advance exercises such as planks and stir the pot for further rehabilitation. Another weak area I saw was that there wasn’t any information about testing the endurance of the lower back.
Doing a rhetorical analysis of a paper is a critical aspect in any professional. Doing one lets you the student look at different people's studies and reveals and type of bias or persuasive techniques that the author may use in a research paper. Doing one for scientific research papers is especially important because if credibility is key in any scientific paper.
