The effect on strengthening the lumbar extensors on persistent low back pain.
For a number of years, the emphasis of rehabilitation in the management of persistent lower back pain was that of the transversus abdominis and multifidus muscles. Research has shown retraining of these muscles, in the correct sequence, is all important in lower back rehabilitation. What has been de-emphasized is the role of the “antigravity” muscles, namely the erector spinae, gluteals and hamstrings muscles, which play a major role in upright function. This research aims to provide the clinician with an additional avenue by which to manage persistent lower back pain.
