Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain is one of the most prevalent disorders of musculoskeletal system which is experienced by approximately 80% of people at least once throughout their lives. Concerning the integral role of the abdominal muscles in lumbo-pelvic stability, a highly reliable measurement instrument is needed to make an accurate judgment about the functions of these muscles. The aim of this study was to determine the RELIABILITY of ultrasonographic measurement of abdominal muscles thickness in healthy women as well as in women with chronic non-specific low back pain.Materials and Methods: 5 women with non-specific chronic low back pain and 5 ones without any low back pain participated in this methodological study. Abdominal muscles thickness was measured via ULTRASONOGRAPHY three times, two of which performed on the first day of the study within a 2 hour-interval and the third was carried out 5 days later. Intra-class Correlation Coefficient and Standard of Error Measurement (SEM) were used for evaluating the RELIABILITY of the method.Results: The RELIABILITY of thickness measurements among women with chronic non-specific low back pain was excellent for all but two muscles: fright internal oblique muscle and left transverse abdomen. Standard error of measurement was greater than mean difference in all measurements.Conclusion: ULTRASONOGRAPHY can be used as a reliable method for evaluating abdominal muscles’ thickness.
