Evaluation of the Erector Spinae Muscle in Different Position and the Change After Receiving Myofascial Release.

"The subjects first positioned the third, fourth, and fifth lumbar vertebrae in a relaxed lying position, about 2-3 cm away from the left and right sides (depending on the size of the subjects' muscles). And then in six postures (prone, prone with leg raise, sit straight , slouch sitting, stand straight and slouch standing), MyotonPRO was used to test the above-mentioned 8 points in these position.~Subjects will undergo a pre-mobilization assessment to see if MyotonPRO can detect changes in the erector spinae muscle properties, including changes in muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity, under different test positions. After physical therapist manual mobilization, MyotonPRO's erector spinae muscle biomechanical data was collected again for data analysis to determine MyotonPRO could objectively quantify changes in erector spinae biomechanical characteristics."
