Summary
The biomechanical characteristics of lumbar paraspinal muscles may give us insight into different lower back dysfunctions in postpartum mothers after cesarean section.
Detailed description
Stiffness and elasticity are two mechanical characteristics of the muscles, whereas relaxation time and creeping are two viscoelastic characteristics. Different studies investigated the mechanical properties of lumbar paraspinal muscles in numerous musculoskeletal conditions, however, no previous studies investigated these characteristics after cesarean section, which is associated with high prevalence of lower back pain when compared with normal delivery.
