Brief Summary

The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate whether MyotonPRO can quantify the changes in the muscle characteristics of the erector spinae in different postures and after myofascial relaxation, and to test the validity of the muscle tone tester.

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Keywords

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• muscle elasticity of manual erector spinae myofascial realease

  use MyotonPRO (Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia) to assess the muscle elasticity (ln(first wave peak/second wave peak))

  10 minutes

• muscle tone of self-myofascial release technique

  use MyotonPRO (Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia) to assess the muscle tone (Hz)

  10 minutes

• muscle stiffness of self-myofascial release technique

  use MyotonPRO (Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia) to assess the muscle stiffness (N/m)

  10 minutes

• muscle elasticity of self-myofascial release technique

  use MyotonPRO (Myoton AS, Tallinn, Estonia) to assess the muscle elasticity (ln(first wave peak/second wave peak))

  10 minutes

Study Arms (2)

manual erector spinae myofascial realease

EXPERIMENTAL

Myofascial release is performed by a therapist. The patient prone and using two pillows, one on the head and the other under the abdomen, flexing the lumbar spine maximally under the abdomen with the erector spinae in extension. The therapist will then perform 3 sets of 15 reps with a 1-minute rest between sets with myofascial loosening using standard massage techniques.

Other: manual erector spinae myofascial realease

self-myofascial release technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Use a roller (roller) to release fascia. The subject stand beside the wall and roll back and forth 15 times as a group, rest for one minute in between, and do a total of 3 groups.

Other: self-myofascial release technique

Interventions

manual erector spinae myofascial realease OTHER

The subjects first positioned the third, fourth, and fifth lumbar vertebrae in a relaxed lying position, about 2-3 cm away from the left and right sides (depending on the size of the subjects' muscles). And then in six postures (prone, prone with leg raise, sit straight , slouch sitting, stand straight and slouch standing), MyotonPRO was used to test the above-mentioned 8 points in these position. Subjects will undergo a pre-mobilization assessment to see if MyotonPRO can detect changes in the erector spinae muscle properties, including changes in muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity, under different test positions. After physical therapist manual mobilization, MyotonPRO's erector spinae muscle biomechanical data was collected again for data analysis to determine MyotonPRO could objectively quantify changes in erector spinae biomechanical characteristics.
