Lumbar Extension

Objective The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of a novel supported dynamic lumbar extension with the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) technique on stature change, deep abdominal muscle activity, trunk muscle fatigue, and pain intensity during prolonged sitting in chronic low back pain (CLBP) participants. Background Prolonged sitting can cause trunk muscle fatigue from continuous contraction of deep trunk muscles in seated postures. Deficiency of activity of deep muscles can reduce muscular support of the spine, causing stress on spinal structures, which could result in pain. Method Thirty participants with CLBP were randomly allocated: (a) control—sitting without exercise, and (b) intervention—supported dynamic lumbar extension with the ADIM technique. Results Compared to the intervention condition, the control condition demonstrated significantly greater deterioration in stature change, increased levels of deep trunk muscle fatigue, and an increase in pain during prolonged sitting. Conclusion The supported dynamic lumbar extension with the ADIM technique appears to provide a protective effect on detrimental stature change and deep trunk muscle fatigue. In addition, it prevented an increase in pain intensity during prolonged sitting in people with CLBP. Application Sedentary behavior harms health, particularly affecting the lower back. Clinicians can use the intervention to induce dynamic lumbar movement, and this exercise can maintain deep trunk muscle activity during prolonged sitting, thereby helping to prevent low back pain (LBP) problems.

Study design: Cross-sectional study. Background: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an effective tool for stimulating multifidus muscle contractions. Ultrasound imaging (USI) is valid and reliable for quantifying multifidus activity represented by percent thickness change from a resting to contracted state. Thus, USI may be used to help determine optimal NMES intensity. Objectives: To explore NMES intensity effects on multifidus thickening in adults with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Methods: Sixty patients with CLBP participated. L4/5 multifidus ultrasound images were obtained and percent thickness change from a resting to a contracted state was determined at baseline with a limb lift and during NMES application. During NMES, the examiner recorded the intensity, in milliampere, when the multifidus first started to thicken as observed with USI. The examiner also recorded the NMES intensity that resulted in no further multifidus thickening (ie, high-tolerance group) or, in cases where maximal thickening was not observed, the NMES intensity of the submaximal contraction (ie, low-tolerance group). Differences between participants with high versus low NMES tolerance were evaluated. Results: During NMES, the multifidus began thickening at a higher intensity for the high-tolerance group (n = 39), that is, 34 mA, compared with the low-tolerance group (n = 21), that is, 32 mA ( P = .001). A greater mean intensity in the high-tolerance group, that is, 62 mA, as compared to 45 mA in the low-tolerance group, resulted in a larger percent thickness change, that is, 30.89% compared to 20.60%, respectively ( P < .001). Conclusions: Results provide clinicians with NMES intensity targets to facilitate multifidus muscle thickening, which provides insight into muscle activity.
