Summary

Interventional study of the effects of a trunk extensor muscles fatigue protocol on trunk extensors stiffness.

Detailed description

Single visit interventional study of the effects of a trunk extensor muscles fatigue protocol on multifidus and erector spinae muscle stiffness measured by Ultrasound based Shearwave elastography.

Conditions

• Muscle Tightness

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	isometric trunk extensor muscles fatigue	Participants will perform three sets of intermittent isometric efforts between 50 and 60 percents of their maximal isometric strength. A padded force sensor will be placed approximately at the level of the 7th thoracic vertebrae. The first two sets will last six minutes each, while the third set will last three minutes. Between each set participants will rest for two minutes.
