Journal ArticleDOI
Inefficient muscular stabilization of the lumbar spine associated with low back pain : A motor control evaluation of transversus abdominis
TL;DR: The delayed onset of contraction of transversus abdominis indicates a deficit of motor control and is hypothesized to result in inefficient muscular stabilization of the spine.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of computer-based methods for the determination of onset of muscle contraction using electromyography
Paul W. Hodges,Bang H. Bui +1 more
TL;DR: This study compared the relative accuracy of a range of computer-based techniques with respect to EMG onset determined visually by an experienced examiner and found several methods accurately selected the time of onset of EMG activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contraction of the Abdominal Muscles Associated With Movement of the Lower Limb
TL;DR: Results suggest that the central nervous system deals with stabilization of the spine by contraction of the abdominal and multifidus muscles in anticipation of reactive forces produced by limb movement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of muscle contraction with ultrasound imaging.
TL;DR: Architectural parameters of several human muscles were measured during isometric contractions of from 0 to 100% maximal voluntary contraction to investigate the ability of ultrasonography to estimate muscle activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moving differently in pain: a new theory to explain the adaptation to pain.
Paul W. Hodges,Kylie Tucker +1 more
TL;DR: The motor adaptation to pain from the micro (single motoneuron) to macro (coordination of whole-muscle behaviour) levels is considered and to provide a basis for a new theory to explain the motor changes in pain.
