High-density surface electromyography (HDEMG) is an electrophysiological technique that
can be used to quantify the spatial distribution of activity within muscles. When pain-free …

Changes in back muscle function and structure are highly prevalent in patients with chronic
low back pain (CLBP). Since large heterogeneity in clinical presentation and back muscle …

BACKGROUND: Generic self-report measures do not reflect the complexity of a person's
pain-related behavior. Since variations in a person's fear of movement and avoidance …

The purpose of this narrative review is to provide a critical reflection of how analytical
machine learning approaches could provide the platform to harness variability of patient …

We quantified the relationship between spatial oscillations in surface electromyographic
(sEMG) activity and trunk-extension torque in individuals with and without chronic low back …

Purpose To establish intra-and inter-session reliability of high-density surface
electromyography (HDEMG)-derived parameters from the thoracic erector spinae (ES) …

Objectives Despite the high prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in rowers, there are few
studies investigating changes in lumbar muscle activation in rowers with a recent history of …

Background Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability, which is
exacerbated in some by repeated lifting. Electromyography (EMG) assessments of isolated …

Background Few study has investigated how paraspinal muscle endurance deteriorates in
lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) patients. In addition, little information is available on the …

Workers often develop low back pain due to manually lifting heavy loads. Instrumental-
based assessment tools are used to quantitatively assess the biomechanical risk in lifting …
