High Intensity Training Increases Muscle Area Occupied by Type II Muscle Fibers of the Multifidus Muscle in Persons with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Pilot Trial

High Intensity Training Increases Muscle Area Occupied by Type II Muscle Fibers of the Multifidus Muscle in Persons with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain: A Pilot Trial

Low back pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder with high disability. Although exercise therapy is an important part of the multidisciplinary treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP), the impact of exercise therapy on muscle morphology of the paraspinal muscles is largely unkno...
