Journal ArticleDOI
Age- and Level-Dependence of Fatty Infiltration in Lumbar Paravertebral Muscles of Healthy Volunteers.
Rebecca J. Crawford,Rebecca J. Crawford,Lukas Filli,James M. Elliott,James M. Elliott,James M. Elliott,Daniel Nanz,Michael A. Fischer,Magda Marcon,Erika J. Ulbrich +9 more
TL;DR: Lumbar paravertebral muscle fat content increases with aging, independent of volume, in healthy volunteers 20–62 years of age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manually defining regions of interest when quantifying paravertebral muscles fatty infiltration from axial magnetic resonance imaging: a proposed method for the lumbar spine with anatomical cross-reference
Rebecca J. Crawford,Rebecca J. Crawford,Jon Cornwall,Jon Cornwall,Rebecca Abbott,James M. Elliott,James M. Elliott,James M. Elliott +7 more
TL;DR: This method provides a foundation for standardising the quantification of muscle quality that particularly centres on examining fatty infiltration and composition and provides recommendations relating to imaging parameters that should additionally inform a priori decisions when planning studies examining lumbar muscle tissues with MRI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rate of lumbar paravertebral muscle fat infiltration versus spinal degeneration in asymptomatic populations: an age-aggregated cross-sectional simulation study
TL;DR: Degeneration of lumbar paravertebral muscles occurs slowly in asymptomatic adults, with a tendency to be most pronounced in multifidus, while disk signal loss declined fastest, and psoas muscle the slowest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geography of Lumbar Paravertebral Muscle Fatty Infiltration: The Influence of Demographics, Low Back Pain, and Disability
Rebecca J. Crawford,Thomas Volken,Áine Ni Mhuiris,Cora Bow,James M. Elliott,James M. Elliott,James M. Elliott,Mark A. Hoggarth,Dino Samartzis +8 more
TL;DR: Higher FI in females and differences of mean FI between sexes for BMI, LBP, and disabling ODI suggest sex-differential accumulation patterns, which contradicts pain models rationalising lumbar muscle FI and may reflect a normative sex-dependent feature of the natural history of lumbr paravertebral muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment Efficacy, Clinical Utility, and Cost-Effectiveness of Multidisciplinary Biopsychosocial Rehabilitation Treatments for Persistent Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review
Cornelia Rolli Salathé,Markus Melloh,Rebecca J. Crawford,Stephanie Scherrer,Norbert Boos,Achim Elfering,Achim Elfering +6 more
TL;DR: MBR is an effective treatment for nonspecific LBP, but there is room for improvement in cost-effectiveness and impact on sick leave, where the evidence was less compelling.
