Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Neurostimulation of Multifidus Muscles Combined with Motor Training Influences Spine Motor Control and Chronic Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) alters the sensorimotor control of the lumbopelvic spine. Patients with CLBP present with impaired activation of lumbopelvic muscle during anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) (Hodges et al., 1996b; Massé-Alarie et al., 2015), as well as during functional activities, such as forward bending (Shirado et al., 1995; Alschuler et al., 2009) and gait (Arendt-Nielsen et al., 1996). Our research group also showed that the activation of remote muscles such as semitendinosus could be delayed during ballistic movement of upper limbs thus reflecting a broad alteration of motor planning that might spread out the painful area (Massé-Alarie et al., 2015).
