Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between the MRI changes in the lumbar multifidus muscles and leg pain.
TL;DR: Examination of the paraspinal muscles looking for atrophy of MF muscle should be considered when assessing MR images of lumbar spine, which may explain the referred leg pain in the absence of other MR abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are MRI-defined fat infiltrations in the multifidus muscles associated with low back pain?
TL;DR: Fat infiltration in the LMM is strongly associated with LBP in adults only, and the direction of this link longitudinally is investigated in order to determine if the abnormal muscle is the cause of LBP or vice versa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic resonance imaging of the discs and trunk muscles in patients with chronic low back pain and healthy control subjects
TL;DR: The lumbar intervertebral discs and the maximum isometric strength and size of the trunk muscles of middle-aged healthy volunteers and low back pain patients were evaluated and disc degeneration was more frequently seen in patients than in the healthy volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Stabilization Training On Multifidus Muscle Cross-sectional Area Among Young Elite Cricketers With Low Back Pain
TL;DR: Multifidus muscle atrophy can exist in highly active, elite athletes with LBP and specific retraining resulted in an improvement in multifidus Muscle CSA and this was concomitant with a decrease in pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of the Lumbar Multifidus in Chronic Low Back Pain: A Review
TL;DR: Muscle training directed at teaching patients to activate their lumbar multifidus muscles is an important feature of any clinical approach to the LBP patient with demonstrated LMM dysfunction or atrophy.
