Correlation between lumbar dysfunction and fat infiltration in lumbar multifidus muscles in patients with low back pain
BACKGROUND Lumbar multifidus muscles (LMM) are important for spinal motion and stability. Low back pain (LBP) is often associated with fat infiltration in LMM. An increasing fat infiltration of LMM may lead to lumbar dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is a correlation between the severity of lumbar dysfunction and the severity of fat infiltration of LMM. M...
متن کاملThe Intrarater Reliability of Rehabilitation Ultrasonography and Linear and Cross Sectional Measurements of the Lumbar Multifidus Muscles in Normal Subjects
Objective: Using rehabilitation ultrasonography imaging (RUSI) is widely growing in the physiotherapy clinics of developed countries. Due to this new application, it is necessary to consider the repeatability of this new technique by novice physiotherapists and applied methods to measure the muscle size. This study has been designed to investigate the intrarater reliability and also the relatio...
متن کاملStructural Changes of Lumbar Muscles in Non-specific Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review.
BACKGROUND Lumbar muscle dysfunction due to pain might be related to altered lumbar muscle structure. Macroscopically, muscle degeneration in low back pain (LBP) is characterized by a decrease in cross-sectional area and an increase in fat infiltration in the lumbar paraspinal muscles. In addition microscopic changes, such as changes in fiber distribution, might occur. Inconsistencies in result...
متن کاملRelationship between paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area and relative proprioceptive weighting ratio of older persons with lumbar spondylosis
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area and the relative proprioceptive weighting ratio during local vibratory stimulation of older persons with lumbar spondylosis in an upright position. [Subjects] In all, 74 older persons hospitalized for lumbar spondylosis were included. [Methods] We measured the relative proprioc...
متن کاملErgonomic Evaluation of Relationship between Electromyographic Activity in Selected Trunk Muscles and Back Discomfort While Working with a Laptop in a Sitting Position
Introduction: Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders leading to disability around the world. Several studies have suggested that prolonged computer/ laptop work contributes to the development of low back pain and discomfort. The results of the studies conducted on the association of back discomfort and muscle activity are contradictory. Thus, the present study aims to...
