Interventions
DEVICE

Transcranial magnetic stimulation

The stimulation point is the lumbar multifidus hotspot. The parameters will be set at frequency 10 Hz, 50 number of pulses, 40 train of stimulation (5 seconds stimulation and 25 seconds inter-stimulation interval). The position of coil will be placed tangentially at 45 degrees on the LM hotspot. The stimulation will be 20 minutes.

DEVICE

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation

The neuromuscular electrical stimulation will be set as interferential current 6000 Hz, amplitude 20-50 Hz with scanning mode, duration 20 minutes, intensity to elicit the LM contraction.
