Comprehensive Analysis Of Muscle Wasting In Disc Herniation
This study which was planned to investigate the factors affecting m. erector spinae (ES), m. multifidus (MF), m. psoas major (PM) and m. quadratus lumborum (QL), which stabilize the lumbar region in the case of disc herniation. In this study, the effects of disc herniation, herniation severity, age, and spinal biomechanics were investigated.
