Evaluation of the thickness of the transverse muscles of the abdomen and the internal oblique muscles using ultrasound imaging in women with back pain

It has been estimated that chronic low back pain (LBP) affects 18% of young people, and 28-42% of people in middle age, with women being more affected than men. Chronic LBP can arise from a variety of factors, among which are biomechanical changes in core muscles, such as in their thickness, which can impair spinal stability.
