A hypertrophy of psoas muscle (PM) is assigned to be one of the major determinants for sprint running [2]. Moreover, the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles related to the sprint performance [3]. These results suggest that higher sprint performance require the stabilization of the trunk lateral movement. The main function of PM is to flex the thigh on the pelvis, but also counteract a...

A case of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) with biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis (GCA) is described in which there were marked abnormalities noted on electromyography (EMG). Spike potentials, positive waves, and fibrillation potentials were seen in the proximal musculature of the upper and lower extremities as well as in the erector spinae muscles. Investigation failed to reveal abnormalities in ...

Introduction: The erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a regional anesthetic technique that involves injecting local below the muscle in an interfascial plane. Case Presentation: We report case of 66-year-old man with cervicothoracic junction pain caused by advanced Pancoast tumor. administration ESP at T2-T3 level led to relief more than 50% this patient after two sessions. Conclusions: Therefo...

The utilization of the brachial plexus block has become commonplace in shoulder replacement surgery and management postoperative pain. Nonetheless, this technique carries risks, including occurrence phrenic nerve palsy subsequent dyspnea. In light these concerns, erector spinae plane emerges as a safe, simple, effective alternative for with reduced risk potential motor sparing affected limb. Th...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of trunk stabilization exercise on the muscle EMG activations related to core stability. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen elderly people in a geriatric hospital performed trunk stabilization exercises with a Swiss ball for 20 minutes five times per week for 8 weeks. Trunk muscle activations were measured using electromyography bef...

The aim of the study was to estimate the influence of trunk inclination on muscle activity during sitting on forward inclined seats without backrest. The group consisting of thirteen healthy women was examined. Based on anthropometrical data two types of sitting position were adopted with two different angles between thighs and trunk: 120 and 135 degrees. Bioelectrical activity of five muscles ...

The erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a novel interfascial technique to relieve various postoperative pain. We described successful management of acute or subacute low back pain in 3 patients using ultrasound guided blocks. Three visited our clinic with variable duration development numerical rating scale 7. Before the visit clinic, they were treated physical therapy and acupuncture minimal e...

MRI of the spine requires patient to stay still in lying down position. With on severe excruciating pain, supine is not always feasible during and any intervention with least possible adverse effect preferred. Sedation suite compatible monitors which readily available all centers. The erector spinae plane block provides analgesia via its action ventral rami spinal nerves. ESP a safe easy proced...
