Characterization of the muscle electrical properties in low back pain patients by electrical impedance myography.

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the electrical properties of lumbar paraspinal muscles (LPM) of patients with acute lower back pain (LBP) and to study a new approach, namely Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM), for reliable, low-cost, non-invasive, and real-time assessment of muscle-stra...
