Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialLumbar muscle fatigue and recovery in patients with long-term low-back trouble--electromyography and health-related factors.
The aim was to explore the validity and reliability of EMG for assessing lumbar muscle fatigue. ⋯ The ability to fatigue the back muscles during a test requiring a high force output might be achieved with back muscle training focused on increasing strength and self-efficacy.
