Chronic Compartment Syndrome in the Erector Spinae Muscle
Spine, 1987Intramuscular pressure in the erector spinae muscle was measured during exercise with the microcapillary infusion method in 12 highly selected patients with recurrent low-back pain. The criteria for selection were low-back pain induced only by exercise, relief of symptoms at rest, and no neurologic deficits in the lower extremities.

Comparison of acoustic and electrical signals from erectores spinae muscles
Muscle & Nerve, 1988AbstractComparison was made between simultaneous recordings of the electromyogram (EMG) and acoustic myogram (AMG) signals and the torque produced by the lumbar erectores spinae muscles of three healthy subjects while they performed isometric contractions. Repeatability of each signal was studied. The AMG had a relationship to the torque which was more

Prediction Models for the Erector Spinae Muscle Cross-Sectional Area
Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2015Accurate and reliable “individualized” low back erector spinae muscle (ESM) data are of importance to estimate its force producing capacity. Knowing the force producing capacity, along with spinal loading, enhances the understanding of low back injury mechanisms.

Muscle Fiber Types in Thoracic Erector Spinae Muscles
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1987Histochemical studies of the thoracic part of the erector spinae muscles in scoliosis have shown a consistently higher proportion of Type 1 fibers on the convex side. The fiber distribution of the multifidus and semispinalis muscles was studied in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Cortical control of erector spinae muscles during arm abduction in humans
Gait & Posture, 2008Abduction of one arm preferentially activates erector spinae muscles on the other side to stabilise the body. We hypothesise that the corticospinal drive to the arm abductors and the erector spinae may originate from the same hemisphere. In 18 subjects, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was applied using an angle double-cone coil placed ...

Quantification of erector spinae muscle fatigue during prolonged, dynamic lifting tasks
European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology, 1993A method was developed to quantify erector spinae fatigue resulting from repetitive dynamic lifting in the sagittal plane. This method was tested with the data from eight male subjects lifting inertial loads of 19 kg and 17 kg during sessions of 20 min and 2 h, respectively.

Thorecolumlbar fascia can increase the efficiency of the erector spinae muscles
Clinical Biomechanics, 1990A model is developed which demonstrates that the thoracolumbar fascia can increase the axial stress generated by active contraction of the erector spinae muscles by restricting their radial expansion (bulging). The radial stress in the muscles was calculated from their radii, the radius of the abdominal cavity, and the intra-abdominal pressure ...

Left–Right Differential Erector Spinae Muscles Activation in Prone and Quadruped Positions
Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 2023Left–right differential erector spinae (ES) muscle strengthening is required to correct ES muscle imbalances. The objective was to test the effect of 6 body positions on the differential activation of the ES muscles. In 14 able-bodied young women, using a surface electromyography system, the bilateral ES muscles activity at the third lumbar (ESL3) and ...

Myoglobin and enzyme adaptations in erector spinae muscles in thoracal scoliosis
Clinical Physiology, 1990Summary. Bilateral biopsies from the erector spinae muscles were taken during surgery from 10 females and two males (mean age 14, range 13–17 years) with thoracal scoliosis for 6 years (range 2–11 years). The biopsies were analysed for myoglobin (MYO), citrate synthase (CS) and creatine kinase MB (CK‐MB).

Erector spinae muscle radiographic density is associated with survival after lung transplantation
The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022The study objective was to verify whether low preoperative radiographic density of erector spinae muscles is associated with poor prognosis after lung transplantation.Preoperative chest computed tomography scans for patients who underwent deceased-donor lung transplantation between 2013 and 2019 at Kyoto University Hospital were retrospectively ...
