Clinical Assessment and Thickness Changes of the Oblique and Multifidus Muscles

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Abdominal Muscles

In brief

This study evaluates the effect of a rotation based exercise program on core muscle thickness. Additionally, a second aim is to demonstrate the ability of a clinical assessment tool to identify muscle thickness changes. Half of participants receive the rotation based exercises, while the other half perform a traditional core exercise program. It was hypothesized that the rotation based exercises would result in greater changes in muscle thickness.
