Increase in Amplitude of Paraspinal Muscle Reflexes following Lumbar Extensor Fatigue
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Low back disorders (LBDs) are one of the most prevalent and costly musculoskeletal problems in the United States. Abnormal paraspinal reflexes have been linked to low-back pain [1,2] and neuromuscular fatigue has been shown to affect reflexes in multiple muscle groups [3]. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of lumbar extensor fatigue on paraspinal reflexes.

Effects of static flexion-relaxation on paraspinal reflex behavior.
BACKGROUND Static trunk flexion working postures and disturbed trunk muscle reflexes are related to increased risk of low-back pain. Animal studies conclude that these factors may be related; passive tissue strain in spinal ligaments causes subsequent short-term changes in reflex. Although studies have documented changes in the myoelectric onset angle of flexion-relaxation following prolonged s...
متن کاملEMG-based Fatigue Assessment During Endurance Testing With Different VT Protocols
BACKGROUND: Muscle fatigue can be defined as the failure of a muscle to maintain a reasonably expected force output. The multivariate approach to fatigue assessment is used because the multiple (EMG) feature provides more information than anyone. OBJECTIVE: This study presents a method of assessing muscle fatigue during endurance testing at 50% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) using electro...
متن کاملThe duration effects of lumbar extensor muscle fatigue on postural control in soccer players
Background: The ability to maintain body position in space is called postural control. Muscular fatigue created after doing voluntary repeated contractions impairs postural control. Thus, the present study was conducted to compare the effects of fatigue of the lumbar extensor muscles and duration of these effects on postural sway between soccer player and non-athlete participants. &nbs...
متن کاملThe Investigation of Median Frequency Changes in Paraspinal Muscles Following Fatigue
Objectives: There are two sub systems of paraspinal muscles, the global-mobilizing system and the local stabilizing system. The multifidus muscles are assigned to the local system and stabilize the joints. In contrast, the longissimus muscles are assigned to the global system and force exertion. This study aimed to investigate the median frequency changes in mobilizing and stabilizing muscles f...
