torsorotatie
Torsorotatie is a term used in Dutch biomechanics to describe the rotation of the torso around the vertical axis through the spine, relative to the pelvis. It is essentially axial rotation of the trunk and is often analyzed in sports science, physical therapy, and ergonomics. The term is not always standardized in anatomical nomenclature, and in many contexts it is used interchangeably with trunk or torso rotation.
Torso rotation results from coordinated movement of the thoracic and lumbar spine, rib cage, and abdominal
Assessing torsorotatie can involve observational analysis, goniometry, or three-dimensional motion capture. Clinically, the rotation range is
Torsorotatie is particularly relevant in sports such as golf, baseball, tennis, and rowing, where trunk rotation
