This brief commentary presents the current approaches and challenges concerning the use of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate lumbar instability in real time. In a continuum of using end-of-range static imaging to detect and quantify lumbar instability, this commentary outlines current approaches, limitations, and potential developmental opportunities of using MRI to quantify dynamic intervertebral displacements for investigating mechanistic underpinnings of back pain.
