Patients With Becker Muscular Dystrophy Have Severe Paraspinal Muscle Involvement
Introduction: Paraspinal muscles are important for gross motor functions. Impairment of these muscles can lead to poor postural control and ambulation difficulty.

A review of electromyography techniques of the cervical paraspinal muscles
AbstractElectrodiagnosis for cervical radiculopathy often involves exploration of the cervical paraspinal muscles. Accurate and reproducible results require a technique with specific anatomic localization, direction of insertion, extent of insertion, scoring system for insertion, and criteria for determining abnormality.

Polysegmental innervation of the medial paraspinal lumbar muscles [PDF]
A retrospective analysis was performed in a nine month period of the electrophysiological data, imaging and clinical findings of patients with monoradicular disc herniation compressing either the L5 or the S1 nerve root. The primary purpose of the analysis was to determine the distribution of pathological spontaneous activity in the medial paraspinal ...

Use of two-point and six-point Dixon MRI for fat fraction analysis in the lumbar vertebral bodies and paraspinal muscles in healthy dogs: comparison with magnetic resonance spectroscopy [PDF]
IntroductionFatty degeneration of the vertebral bodies and paravertebral muscles is associated with the presence, severity, and prognosis of spinal disease such as intervertebral disc degeneration. Therefore, the fat fraction (FF) of the vertebral bodies

Paraspinal Muscle Response to Electrical Vestibular Stimulation
Galvanic (electrical) vestibular stimulation (GVS) has been used to study the role of the vestibular system in postural control by inducing postural sway in standing subjects. The purpose of this study was to determine the timing and pattern of activation in the paraspinal muscles in response to GVS and to compare these responses with those in the ...

Reflex control of ipsilateral and contralateral paraspinal muscles [PDF]
Homonymous and heteronymous reflex connections of the paraspinal muscles were investigated by the application of a tap to the muscle bellies of the lumbar multifidus and iliocostalis lumborum muscles and observation of surface electromyographic responses in the same muscles on both sides of the trunk.

The association between morphological characteristics of paraspinal muscle and spinal disorders
Background Spinal disorders affect millions of people worldwide, and can cause significant disability and pain. The paraspinal muscles, located on either side of the spinal column, play a crucial role in the movement, support, and stabilization of the ...
