Changes in cross-sectional areas of posterior extensor muscles in thoracic spine: a 10-year longitudinal MRI study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Age-related changes in the posterior extensor muscles of the cervical and lumbar spine have been reported in some studies; however, longitudinal changes in the thoracic spine of healthy subjects are rarely reported.

An Analysis of Muscle Load on the Erector Spinae of a Pregnant Woman

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2010
The first objective of this study was to develop a musculoskeletal simulation model to analyze the muscle load of a pregnant woman. The second objective of this study was to investigate the muscle load on the Erector Spinae numerically using the developed simulation model. An experiment to validate the simulation was also conducted.

Enduring Capacity of the Erectores Spinae Muscles in Static Work

open access: yesJournal of the Anthropological Society of Nippon, 1970
The enduring capacity of the erectores spinae muscles for sustained back extension was investigated in 8 normal males at the tensions of 70, 50, 40 and 30% of the maximum strength with a specially deviced dynamometer. Relatively prolonged endurance time was obtained at lower tensions; the critical tension endurable for 10-20 minutes was supposed to be ...
