Objectives This study examined the effects of sitting surfaces on the cross-sectional area of lumbar multifidus (LM) in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) and healthy controls (HC). Design Cross-Sectional Case Controlled Study. Setting Isle of Man Institute of Sport. Participants 40 age and sex matched, sporting participants aged 1845 years, recruited from private physiotherapy practice patients (n = 20 CLBP, 16 male, 4 female, and n = 20 healthy controls, 16 males and 4 females). Main Outcome Measures Cross-sectional area of LM was measured using rehabilitative ultrasound imaging. Results Swiss Ball (SB) was more effective at stimulating LM than a Stable Surface (SS) in both groups: CLBP:SB:12.3 (cm2) (SD:3.6), SS:10.15 (SD:2.6), p Conclusion Cross-sectional area of LM increased as the lability of the surface increased, demonstrating that SB was more effective at stimulating LM activity than a non-labile surface. This confirms current clinical practice and supports the use of a labile surface in spinal rehabilitation. The lack of LM asymmetry within and between groups is discussed. |
