Association between lumbar paraspinal muscle activities and quality in chronic low back pain: a cross-sectional analysis
Muscle quality, particularly fat infiltration, appears to have a greater impact on the amplitude of muscle activities in cLBP patients compared to CSA and FCSA. In contrast to the no-BP group, CSA and FCSA were not significantly associated with muscle activation in the cLBP group, highlighting the need for rehabilitation strategies focused on reducing fat infiltration to improve muscle performance in these patients.
