“…Trunk extension exercises are often used in the physical training and rehabilitation of individuals with thoracic and lumbar spine pathologies, such as kyphosis, lordosis, and low back pain6, 16, 17 ) . However, prone trunk extension exercises to correct kyphosis should be applied with caution because lumbar hyperextension and excessive pelvic anterior tilting often develop during trunk extension exercises in the prone position11 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the differential effects of fixation of the thoracolumbar junction on the activity of the thoracic and lumbar muscle groups with and without the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM). [Subjects and Methods] The participants were 40 healthy adults. During trunk extension, thoracic and lumbar muscle activities were assessed using surface electromyography when fixing the pelvic and popliteal areas and the thoracolumbar junction, with and without the ADIM. [Results] The activity of the thoracic extensors at the T9 level applying thoracolumbar fixation with ADIM was significantly higher than with only pelvic fixation or pelvic fixation with ADIM during prone trunk extension. However, the activity of the lumbar extensors at the L3 level with pelvic fixation alone, without ADIM, was significantly higher than pelvic fixation with ADIM or additional thoracolumbar fixation with ADIM during prone trunk extension [Conclusion] This study demonstrated that fixation of the thoracolumbar junction with ADIM during trunk extension was more effective at eliciting thoracic extensor and minimising lumbar extensor activity than other conventional fixation methods.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the dynamics of isometric changes in strength and muscular lumbar-pelvic imbalances in the treatment of women with low back pain. Forty-one women, nineteen in the study group (A) and twenty-two in the control group (B), participated in the study. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed to assess the degree of degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. The diagnosis of isometric muscle strength and their imbalances was performed with the Tergumed 700 device. After six weeks of therapy in the study group (A), there was a significant improvement in the strength of all the examined muscle groups. However, in the control group (B), significant improvement occurred only in the strength of the lumbar flexor muscles and the flexor muscles on the left side. Furthermore, there was a significant intensification of the imbalance of left flexor muscle strength compared to right flexor strength in group B. Significant differences in favour of the study group (A) concerned the strength of the rotator muscles to the left, the strength of the extensor muscles of the lumbar spine, the strength of the flexors of the lumbar spine to the right, and the balance of the strength of the lumbar spine flexors to the left compared to the strength of the flexor muscles to the right. Therapy with the Tergumed 700 system leads to an increase in the muscle strength of the lumbar and pelvic complex, compensating for its imbalance, bringing beneficial effects in the treatment of low back pain.

“…Various studies have been conducted on thoracic spine extension exercises for kyphosis. These exercises can relieve low back pain and improve lumbosacral alignment [8][9][10][11]. Many studies have investigated the result of breathing exercises in the maintenance of proper posture and enhancement of motion ability, and these exercises are being applied as a program to prevent abnormal postures.…”
