The Effects of an 8-Week Stabilization Exercise Program on Lumbar Multifidus Muscle Thickness and Activation as Measured With Ultrasound Imaging in Patients With Low Back Pain: An Exploratory Study

The links between RUSI measures and the change in clinical outcomes during LSEP should be further explored.This clinical trial has been recorded in the International Standard Registered Clinical/soCial sTudy Number (ISRCTN) registry (ID: ISRCTN94152969).Level of EvidenceII
