, 2019 The preferred intervention for treating patients with chronic nonspecific back pain, is active resistance training. Whole body Electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) is becoming increasingly popular as efficient training method. Therefore, applying this kind of training seems logical in patients with chronic unspecific back pain.
