The Politics of Chronic LBP: Can We Rely on a Proxy-Vote? Linking Multifidus Intra-Myo-Cellular Lipid (IMCL) Fatty Infiltration With Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI)-induced Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain
Conclusions.
It may be possible for IMCLs to serve as a ‘proxy’ prognostic marker of lumbar MF-AMI in CLBP patients. Further, if this assertion were correct, then reductions in IMCLs could potentially quantify recovery and the efficacy of rehabilitation management strategies directed at lumbar MF activation.
