Selective paraspinal muscle amyotrophy

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 2000
A 56-year-old female presented with mild low back pain. Examination revealed severe, selective atrophy of the thoracic and lumbar paraspinal muscles. Fibrillations were seen in the paraspinal muscles on EMG. Limb EMG was normal. Biopsy of the gluteus maximus was normal. Paraspinal muscle biopsy revealed neurogenic features.

Quantitative electromyography: Normative data in paraspinal muscles

Muscle & Nerve, 2020
AbstractBackgroundQuantitative electromyography of paraspinal muscle is a valuable diagnostic tool, but normative data are lacking.MethodsNeedle electromyography (EMG) was obtained in 65 healthy subjects (49% men, 51% women) aged 21 to 82 years at C7, Th10, and L5 segments bilaterally.

Convolutional neural networks for the automatic segmentation of lumbar paraspinal muscles in people with low back pain [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The size, shape, and composition of paraspinal muscles have been widely reported in disorders of the cervical and lumbar spine. Measures of size, shape, and composition have required time-consuming and rater-dependent manual segmentation techniques ...

A review of electromyography techniques of the cervical paraspinal muscles

PM&R, 2023
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.

Posture‐related stiffness mapping of paraspinal muscles [PDF]

Journal of Anatomy, 2019
AbstractThe paraspinal compartment acts as a bone–muscle composite beam of the spine. The elastic properties of the paraspinal muscles play a critical role in spine stabilization. These properties depend on the subjects’ posture, and they may be drastically altered by low back pain. Supersonic shear wave elastography can be used to provide quantitative

Feasibility For Measuring Transverse Area Ratios And Asymmetry Of Lumbosacral Region Paraspinal Muscles In Working Dogs Using Computed Tomography [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2016
Objectives: Describe computed tomographic (CT) anatomy of canine lumbosacral paraspinal muscles, a method for measuring paraspinal muscle transverse area ratios and asymmetry using CT, and application of this method in a small sample of working dogs with

The Eligibility of Surface Electromyography in the Assessment of Paraspinal Muscles Fatigue Following Interventions in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review

Journal of Rehabilitation, 2013
Objective: Evaluation of paraspinal muscles endurance in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) seems to be of great importance. Many studies demonstrated that surface electromyography has merit to assess muscle fatigue using frequency spectrum.

Associations between paraspinal muscles fatty infiltration and lumbar vertebral bone mineral density – An investigation by fast kVp switching dual-energy CT and QCT

European Journal of Radiology Open, 2022
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between paraspinal muscles fat content and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD). Methods: A total of 119 participants were enrolled in our study (60 males, age: 50.88 ± 17.79 years, BMI: 22.80 ± 3.80 kg·m−2; 59 ...
