Treatment of Low Back Pain Using the MyoRackTM System: Description of the Treatment and Preliminary Findings
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent research suggests that surface electromyography (SEMG) abnormalities during flexion are highly associated with low back pain, and specific treatments that target these abnormalities are beginning to emerge in the literature. This article describes one such treatment that uses a device called the MyoRackTM to decrease muscle tension in the low back and improve strength and flexibility in the trunk. Preliminary evidence suggests that the treatment is beneficial in terms of decreasing pain and work interference. In addition, SEMG measures of flexion-relaxation significantly distinguish between persons with and without pain at posttreatment.
