Effect of Core Stability Exercises on Feed-Forward Activation of Deep Abdominal Muscles in Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Spine, 06/01/2012
Vasseljen C et al. – Abdominal muscle onset was largely unaffected by 8 weeks of exercises in chronic low back pain (LBP) patients. There was no association between change in onset and LBP. Large individual variations in activation pattern of the deep abdominal muscles may justify exploration of differential effects in subgroups of LBP.
