Summary

Recently, it has been reported that the thoracolumbar fascia may play a role in the pathophysiology of chronic low back pain.There is still no standard method for imaging and analyzing the thoracolumbar fascia.The aim of this study is to advance the understanding of the role of the thoracolumbar fascia in chronic low back pain as well as to advance the analysis methods.
