Mutifidus in Spinal Stability: Analysis of Inhibition with Muscle Activation Techniques
Journal Title: Journal of Novel Physiotherapy and Physical Rehabilitation - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Objectives: To (1) study the relationship between multifidus muscle activation and perception, (2) to explore the correlation between the failure of the multifidus and back pain, when (3) tested with the MAT technique and back pain questionnaire. Design: Three months prospective before/after quality improvement project. Participants: The participant sample consisted of 34 volunteers (30.5 + 8.2 years). Intervention: Lumbar disability was calculated using the Oswetry test, along with a neuropropioceptive multifidus response test and perceived exertion (Borg Scale).

A Study of the Perception, Level of Satisfaction and Control Requirements of a Self-Fitting Hearing Aid (A Qualitative Study)
Background: Is a ‘science knows best’ approach the best option for hearing care, or do patients want more control; and if so, how much control do they want? The aim of this study is to assess what the thoughts and opinio...
Methods for Avoiding or Reducing High Spinal Loads in Everyday Life
Background: High loads on an anterior spinal implant can cause an implant to subside into the vertebral body. This alteration may endanger the clinical output of the treatment and can result in back pain. The aim of this...
