Lumbar and abdominal muscle activity during walking in subjects with chronic low back pain: support of the “guarding” hypothesis?

M van der Hulst, MM Vollenbroek-Hutten… - Journal of …, 2010 - Elsevier
It has been hypothesized that changes in trunk muscle activity in chronic low back pain
(CLBP) reflect an underlying “guarding” mechanism, which will manifest itself as increased …
