Investigation of the Contraction Ratio of Transversus Abdominis and Internal Oblique Muscles during Lumbopelvic Stability Test

By

SUMMARY Background. The clinicians administer lumbopelvic stability test (LPST) to evaluate core stability of lumbar spine and TrA muscle function. While the reduced thickness and contraction ratio of the TrA was well documented among people with nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP), the direct morphological changes of TrA during the LPST had not been reported so … Continued

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation associated with core stability exercises in nonspecific postural low back pain: a randomized clinical trial

By

Background. Low back pain is one of the most frequent causes of disability. Therapeutics programs have been used to promote muscle strengthening and lumbar stability. Methods. Randomized clinical trial with 30 female participants with chronic low back pain, divided into CORE Group (CG), NMES Group (NG), and CORE + NMES group (CNG). At the end … Continued
