Objective To investigate the effects of myofascial release on the flexibility and
electromyographic activity of the lumbar erector spinae muscle in healthy individuals …

Background Flexion-relaxation response of the lumbar erector spinae has been previously
studied after different interventions such as exercise programs or spinal manipulation, in …

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of grade IV lumbar
mobilization on the activity/contraction of erector spinae (ES) and lumbar multifidus (LM) …

Background Low back pain (LBP) is a major health issue in most industrialised countries.
Lumbodorsal fascia has been advocated as a potential source of pain in the lumbopelvic …

Objectives Low back pain is a major health issue in most industrialized countries. Lumbar
fascia is supported as a potential source of pain in the lumbar region. Myofascial release is a …

The thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) may be a pain generator, given its rich innervation.
Structural and biomechanical changes have also been documented in adults with chronic …

Introduction. Lumbosacral dysfunctions and the resulting pain syndromes, such as low-back
pain (LBP), are one of the most common musculoskeletal problems being faced by society …

BACKGROUND: Movements in the lumbar spine, including flexion and extension are
governed by a complex neuromuscular system involving both active and passive units …

Background Many studies have shown that changes in lumbar flexion angle and the pelvic
inclination angle can be affected by the shortening of the lumbar muscles, which can cause …

[Purpose] This study evaluated the differences in the flexion-relaxation phenomenon (FRP)
of the right and left erector spinae muscles in asymptomatic subjects and the effect of lumbar …
