Quantitative assessment of erector spinae muscles and prognosis in elderly patients with pneumonia. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
Erector spinae muscle (ESM) size has been reported as a predictor of prognosis in patients with some respiratory diseases. This study aimed to assess the association of ESM size on all-cause in-hospital mortality among elderly patients with pneumonia. We

The fatty degeneration of the lumbar erector spinae muscles affects dynamic spinal compensation ability during gait in adult spinal deformity [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
This study aimed to investigate whether fat infiltration in lumbar paravertebral muscles assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be related to dynamic sagittal spino-pelvic balance during gait in adult spinal deformity (ASD).

Effect of Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Erector Spinae Muscles in Individuals With COPD [PDF]

Respiratory Care, 2021
BACKGROUND: A recent paper reported that low muscle mass in the erector spinae muscles (ESM) was strongly associated with poor prognosis and declining muscle mass over time in subjects with COPD. However, effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), if any,

Determining the optimal maximal and submaximal voluntary contraction tests for normalizing the erector spinae muscles. [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background This study aimed to identify which maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and sub-MVIC tests produce the highest activation of the erector spinae muscles and the greatest reduction in inter-individual variability, to put them forward ...

The relationship between the degeneration and asymmetry of the lumbar multifidus and erector spinae muscles in patients with lumbar disc herniation with and without root compression. [PDF]

J Orthop Surg Res, 2022
Background The determination of muscle pathologies in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and other conditions with low back pain is important for understanding low back problems and determining appropriate treatment methods.

Effects of a Myofascial Technique on the Stiffness and Thickness of the Thoracolumbar Fascia and Lumbar Erector Spinae Muscles in Adults with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized before-and-after Experimental Study. [PDF]

Bioengineering (Basel), 2023
The thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) may be a pain generator, given its rich innervation. Structural and biomechanical changes have also been documented in adults with chronic non-specific low back pain (LBP).

Serum Creatinine/Cystatin C Ratio Associated with Cross-Sectional Area of Erector Spinae Muscles and Pulmonary Function in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. [PDF]

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis, 2021
Purpose Muscle atrophy is a major clinical feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is considered a predictor of mortality in COPD patients.

Reliability of the endurance test for the erector spinae muscle [PDF]

Fisioterapia em Movimento, 2016
Abstract Introduction: The low resistance of the erector spinae has been seen as a risk factor for developing chronic low back pain. The test of the erector spinae muscle endurance advocated by Biering-Sorensen has been used to assess the strength of the erector spinae muscle.

Simultaneous Learning of Erector Spinae Muscles for Automatic Segmentation of Site-Specific Skeletal Muscles in Body CT Images

IEEE Access
Skeletal muscle segmentation of the L3 slice can be used to estimate total body skeletal muscle mass. However, site-specific three-dimensional (3D) segmentation of each region, such as the erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, psoas major, oblique muscle ...
