Background Spinal disorders affect millions of people worldwide, and can cause significant
disability and pain. The paraspinal muscles, located on either side of the spinal column, play …

Purpose Fat infiltration (FI) of the paraspinal muscles (PSMs) measured using MRI is an
aspect of muscle quality and is considered to be worse in chronic low back pain (cLBP) …

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a common disorder worldwide, affecting young and old
adults alike. Kinematic studies of lumbar-pelvic mobility allied with surface electromyogram …

A comprehensive assessment of trunk function, including the lumbar extensor muscles,
appears to be important in various conditions affecting axial musculature. This pilot cross …

Home-based exercises have been on the rise recently. This pilot study aimed to assess the

Lumbar muscle atrophy, diminished strength, stamina, and increased fatigability have been
associated with chronic nonspecific low back pain (LBP). When evaluating patients with …

Multifidus muscles maintain the stability of the lumbar spine and play a crucial role in the
pathogenesis of nonspecific lower back pain. Previous studies have shown that …
