Comparison of trunk muscle thickness and brightness in collegiate female athletes with and without a history of low back pain
BACKGROUND: Trunk muscle thickness and brightness are associated with injuries. OBJECTIVE: This study compared trunk muscle thickness and brightness between female college athletes with and without history of low back pain. METHODS: 15 sprinters, 22 volleyball-, and 18 basketball players, all females, were included. The participants were grouped based on the presence of low back pain. Short-axis ultrasound images of the rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique, transverse abdominis, and lumbar multifidus were obtained. The muscle brightness was calculated after selecting the region of interest for each muscle. Muscle thickness and brightness in both groups were compared. RESULTS: In sprinters, the right lumbar multifidus thickness was significantly thinner in the low back pain group (24.66 ± 2.98 mm) than in the healthy group (28.13 ± 2.84 mm). Volleyball and basketball players showed no significant differences in muscle thickness between the two groups for any muscle type. In volleyball players, the right transverse abdominis thickness is inclined toward thinness in the low back pain group than in the healthy group, but the difference was not significant. In all sports, there were no significant differences in muscle brightness between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Low back pain in female college athletes may not be related to trunk muscle thickness and brightness.
期刊介绍:
Isokinetics and Exercise Science (IES) is an international journal devoted to the study of theoretical and applied aspects of human muscle performance. Since isokinetic dynamometry constitutes the major tool in this area, the journal takes a particular interest in exploring the considerable potential of this technology.
IES publishes studies associated with the methodology of muscle performance especially with respect to the issues of reproducibility and validity of testing, description of normal and pathological mechanical parameters which are derivable from muscle testing, applications in basic research topics such as motor learning paradigms and electromyography. The journal also publishes studies on applications in clinical settings and technical aspects of the various measurement systems employed in human muscle performance research.
The journal welcomes submissions in the form of research papers, reviews, case studies and technical reports from professionals in the fields of sports medicine, orthopaedic and neurological rehabilitation and exercise physiology.
