Co-contraction characteristics of lumbar muscles in patients with lumbar disc herniation during different types of movement
Abstract Background Muscular performance is an important factor for the mechanical stability of lumbar spine in humans, in which, the co-contraction of lumbar muscles plays a key role. We hypothesized that when executing different daily living motions, the performance of the lumbar muscle co-contrac...
