Assessment of Paravertebral Muscles’s Behavior Following Core Training – A Tool in Therapy of Lumbar Spine Pathologies

Abstract

Complex and heterogeneous disorders of lumbar spine are frequently encountered. This study presents in three active adults the muscular behaviour after a CORE training on lumbar spine (tracking the immediate effect) using Myon surface EMG tool associated to VICON system capture of motion. Results suggest that Core training improve muscle function, potentially benefits for physiotherapy practice both the prophylactic and the therapeutic intervention for lumbar spine pathologies. This type of training is worthy to be integrated and applied in the current physiotherapeutic practice, to target the muscles responsible for trunk and spine stability and mobility.
