Paraspinal Muscle DTI Metrics Predict Muscle Strength [PDF]

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2019
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.

Cross-sectional area of the paraspinal muscles and its association with muscle strength among fighter pilots: a 5-year follow-up

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background A small cross sectional area (CSA) of the paraspinal muscles may be related to low back pain among military aviators but previous studies have mainly concentrated on spinal disc degeneration.

The Application of Surface Electromyography Technology in Evaluating Paraspinal Muscle Function

Diagnostics
Surface electromyography (sEMG) has emerged as a valuable tool for assessing muscle activity in various clinical and research settings. This review focuses on the application of sEMG specifically in the context of paraspinal muscles.

PILLAR: ParaspInaL muscLe segmentAtion pRoject - a comprehensive online resource to guide manual segmentation of paraspinal muscles from magnetic resonance imaging

, 2023
Background There is an increasing interest in assessing paraspinal morphology and composition in relation to low back pain (LBP). However, variations in methods and segmentation protocols contribute to the inconsistent findings in the literature.

Long-term administration of antisense oligonucleotides into the paraspinal muscles of mdx mice reduces kyphosis

, 2008
The mdx mouse model of muscular dystrophy has a premature stop codon preventing production of dystrophin. This results in a progressive phenotype causing centronucleation of skeletal muscle fibers, muscle weakness and fibrosis and kyphosis.

Classification of Paraspinal Muscle Impairments by Surface Electromyography [PDF]

Physical Therapy, 1998
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of research to develop surface electromyographic (EMG) measurements for classification of paraspinal muscle impairments in persons with low back pain (LBP). The process of developing laboratory and clinically based protocols is described.
