A model for evaluation of the electric activity and oxygenation in the erector spinae muscle during isometric loading adapted for spine patients

Abstract Background Simultaneous measurement of electromyography (EMG) and local muscle oxygenation is proposed in an isometric loading model adjusted for patients that have undergone spinal surgery. Methods Twelve patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) were included. They were sub...
