Abstract
Use of FES correlated with significant reductions in stature recovery. Elevating paraspinal muscle activity may increase compression on the intervertebral disks and therefore diminish the ability to recover the reduction in height caused by the loaded walking task. This investigation offers further support to the theory that the raised paraspinal muscle activity exhibited by persons with chronic LBP leads to reduced stature recovery.
