Paraspinal Muscle DTI Metrics Predict Muscle Strength [PDF]
BackgroundThe paraspinal muscles play an important role in the onset and progression of lower back pain. It would be of clinical interest to identify imaging biomarkers of the paraspinal musculature that are related to muscle function and strength.

Hypogravity reduces trunk admittance and lumbar muscle activation in response to external perturbations [PDF]
Reduced paraspinal muscle size and flattening of spinal curvatures have been documented after spaceflight. Assessment of trunk adaptations to hypogravity can contribute to develop specific countermeasures.

Sciatic neuropathy with preserved sensory nerve action potentials, a case series [PDF]
Background: Sciatic neuropathy is differentiated from lumbosacral radiculopathy based on the finding of abnormal sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs). Cases of sciatic neuropathy with intact SNAPS have not been well described. Methods: A retrospective
