Neural Control and Mechanosensation in Spine Muscle
Sponsor: University of California, San Diego
Summary
Low back pain (LBP) is a condition that affects a majority of the US population and is responsible for a significant proportion of health care costs and utilization. Lumbar spine muscle is compromised in LBP, and do, and do not, respond to exercise based physical therapy program depending on measurements representing activation capacity of lumbar muscle. Here, we will characterize the neurological and muscle specific features that may contribute to limited activation in an attempt to identify sources of resistance to recovery in patients with chronic disc injury and identify precision rehabilitation approaches for this complex population of individuals.
