The paraspinal muscles, sometimes called the erector spinae, are three muscle groups that support your back. You use them every time you lean to one side, arch your back, bend forward, or twist ...

Researchers found that lower lean muscle mass and higher intermuscular adipose tissue acted as imaging-visible markers that ...

Some of the paraspinal muscle changes seem to be affected by exercise, suggesting possible approaches to preventing the adverse effects of prolonged spaceflight on spinal health and functioning. Ms.

Axial MRI of the Lumbar Spine - T2 weighted image at the L4 level. On this view centered over the L4-L5 disk, one can see well the cauda equina surrounded by CSF (note that CSF is bright on ...

Researchers found significantly higher postoperative volumetric paraspinal muscle atrophy with lumbar spine fusion, posterior procedures and non-minimally invasive fusion compared with ...

The lean muscle, or "functional," cross-sectional area of the lumbar paraspinal muscles decreased by an average of 19 percent from preflight to immediate postflight scans.

(HealthDay)—Paraspinal fat infiltration correlates with high-intensity pain/disability and with structural abnormalities in the lumbar spine, according to a study published in the July 1 issue ...

The MRI scans indicated significant atrophy of the paraspinal lean muscle mass—which plays a critical role in spinal support and movement—during the astronauts' time in space. The lean muscle, or ...
