    AbstractThe attachments and orientation of every fascicle of the lumbar erector spinae were determined in five cadavers and recorded radiographically. Little variation was found in the sites of muscle attachment, which enabled the construction of maps whereby these sites could be plotted on clinical radiographs or models of the lumbar spine. When all fascicles were plotted on 21 clinical radiographs using the maps previously developed, no significant difference in the orientation of fascicles was found compared with that observed in cadavers. This result vindicates the technique used to plot the location of individual fascicles of the lumbar back muscles.
