Pisa syndrome in Parkinson's disease: electromyographic quantification of paraspinal and non-paraspinal muscle activity [PDF]

, 2017
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and Pisa syndrome (PS) may present tonic dystonic or compensatory (i.e. acting against gravity) hyperactivity in the paraspinal and non-paraspinal muscles.

Is fatty infiltration in paraspinal muscles reversible with exercise in people with low back pain? A systematic review [PDF]

, 2022
Purpose: Increased fatty infiltration in paraspinal muscles has been recognized as a feature of muscle quality loss in people with Low Back Pain (LBP) and is highly associated with the severity of LBP and dysfunction. Reducing fatty infiltration has been

Design, Implementation and Preliminary Testing of a Novel Orthosis for Reducing Erector Spinae Muscle Activity, and Improving Balance Control for Hyperkyphotic Elderly Subjects [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2020
Background: Aging often results in thoracic kyphosis and adverse postural changes. This may interfere with physiologic activity of paraspinal muscles. Few styles of spinal orthosis have been already used to reduce thoracic kyphosis.

Exteroceptive Reflexes in Stiff Person Syndrome, Other Neurological Conditions and Healthy Controls

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare disabling neurological condition with overlapping symptomatology with more common neurological conditions. Exaggerated exteroceptive reflex mechanisms are thought to play a role in its pathophysiology.

The Association between Imaging Parameters of the Paraspinal Muscles, Spinal Degeneration, and Low Back Pain [PDF]

, 2017
This narrative review investigated imaging parameters of the paraspinal muscles and their association with spinal degenerative features and low back pain (LBP) found in the literature. Three principal signs of muscle degeneration were detected on imaging:

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.

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.

A comparative imaging analysis of paraspinal muscles in healthy individuals and patients with chronic low back pain

Translational Research in Anatomy
Background: Chronic low back pain (CBP) is a heterogeneous disease that may be caused by intervertebral disc lesions, age-related degenerative lumbar vertebral bodies, nerve compressions at its exit points, age-related weakness of paraspinal muscles, or ...
