Individual fascicles of the paraspinal muscles are activated by discrete cortical networks in humans Ghent University
Structural characteristics of lumbar paraspinal muscles in non-specific chronic low back pain: the effect of high intensity training Hasselt University
Quantitative motor unit action potential analysis in two paraspinal muscles in sound adult warmblood horses Ghent University
Vertebral level specific modulation of paraspinal muscle activity based on vestibular signals during walking KU Leuven
Evoking muscle responses by electrical vestibular stimulation (EVS) may help to understand the contribution of the vestibular system to postural control. Although paraspinal muscles play a role in postural stability, the vestibulo-muscular coupling of these muscles during walking has rarely been studied. This study aimed to investigate how vestibular signals affect paraspinal muscle activity at different vertebral levels during walking with ...
Chondroid metaplasia of paraspinal connective tissue in the degenerative spine Hasselt University
A 51-year-old male was routinely biopsied during a paraspinal muscle study. The biopsy sample was taken from the right erector spinae muscle at the fourth lumbar vertebra. The patient had no history of (diagnosed) major back trauma. The obtained sample was histologically analyzed (hematoxylin and eosin, safranin O), and complementary magnetic resonance imaging was performed. The biopsied sample contained chondroid tissue. Based on its location, ...
An Acute Paraspinal Compartment Syndrome Anatomic Description of the Compartment and Surgical Technique KU Leuven
An acute paraspinal compartment syndrome (CS) is a rare condition and is only described in a few case reports. In our spine surgery department, a 16-year-old boy with severe low back pain due to a lumbar paraspinal CS. was treated with a paraspinal fasciotomy. After this case, we performed a cadaver study to determinate the compartment. The objective of this paper is to give a description of the anatomic lumbar paraspinal compartment and our ...
Fiber typing of the erector spinae and multifidus muscles in healthy controls and back pain patients: a systematic literature review Ghent University
Structural changes of lumbar muscles in non-specific low back pain Ghent University University of Antwerp
The effect of inspiratory muscles fatigue on postural control in persons with and without recurrent low back pain KU Leuven
Study Design. A two-group experimental design. Objective. To determine postural stability and proprioceptive postural control strategies of healthy subjects and subjects with recurrent low back pain (LBP) during acute inspiratory muscles fatigue (IMF). Summary of Background Data. People with LBP use a more rigid proprioceptive postural control strategy than control subjects during postural perturbations. Recent evidence suggests that ...
