Brief summary (from the registry)
The purpose of this study is to assess the morphological changes in the lumbar multifidus, Erector spinae and Quadratus lumborum muscles and to investigate whether they are correlated with trunk extensor muscle strength in CNSLBP subjects. and to compare between these morphological changes during rest and contraction and to compare these results with control group. Twenty-nine subjects with CNSLBP and 29 age-matched healthy controls will be assessed by ultrasonography to detect the morphological changes of these muscles during rest and contraction ,and assessed strength of back extensors by hand-held dynamometer, and assessed functional disability by Arabic version of Oswestry disability index . They will be asked to sign the informed consent form.
