Immediate Effect of Lumbar Mobilization on Paraspinal Muscle Stiffness

2026年9月11日 更新者:Žiga Kozinc、University of Primorska

Immediate Effect of Maitland Grade III++ Central Posteroanterior Mobilization on Erector Spinae and Multifidus Muscle Stiffness in Healthy Adults: A Randomized Crossover Trial

This randomized controlled crossover study will investigate the immediate effect of central posteroanterior lumbar mobilization on the intrinsic stiffness of the erector spinae and multifidus muscles in healthy adults without low back pain. Twenty-four participants will complete two experimental visits in randomized order. During one visit, participants will receive Maitland Grade III++ central posteroanterior mobilization at the L4 vertebral level, while during the other visit they will receive a sham mobilization condition involving gentle rhythmic pressure. Muscle stiffness will be assessed using shear wave elastography immediately before and after each intervention.

調査の概要

詳細な説明

The study will be designed as a randomized controlled crossover trial to investigate the immediate effects of manual spinal mobilization on lumbar paraspinal muscle stiffness in healthy adults without low back pain. Each participant will attend two separate study visits and will receive both experimental conditions in a randomized order.

In the experimental condition, Maitland Grade III++ central posteroanterior mobilization will be applied over the spinous process of L4. The intervention will consist of three 60-second sets of passive rhythmic oscillatory pressures performed at approximately 2 Hz, with 30-second rest periods between sets. In the control condition, participants will receive a sham mobilization presented as a Grade I mobilization technique. The sham intervention will follow the same timing structure but will consist of gentle rhythmic pressure over the L4 spinous process.

Intrinsic muscle stiffness of the right erector spinae and multifidus muscles will be assessed using shear wave elastography. Three measurements will be obtained immediately before and after each intervention, and the mean value will be expressed in kilopascals. Measurements will be performed in a standardized prone position at the L4-L5 level.

介入・治療
実験的:Mobilization-Sham Sequence
Participants receive Maitland Grade III++ central posteroanterior mobilization during the first study visit and sham mobilization during the second study visit.
Central posteroanterior mobilization is applied over the L4 spinous process with the participant in a prone position. The intervention consists of three 60-second sets of passive rhythmic oscillatory pressures performed at approximately 2 Hz, with 30-second rest periods between sets, resulting in approximately 360 oscillatory pressures in total.
Sham mobilization is applied over the L4 spinous process with the participant in a prone position. The procedure consists of three 60-second sets of gentle rhythmic pressures with 30-second rest periods between sets. The timing and therapist contact are matched to the experimental condition, while substantial mobilization pressure is avoided.

メジャーの説明
時間枠
Change in Erector Spinae Muscle Stiffness
時間枠:Immediately before and immediately after each intervention session
Intrinsic stiffness of the right erector spinae muscle is assessed using shear wave elastography and expressed as shear modulus in kilopascals (kPa). Three measurements are obtained at each time point and averaged. The outcome is the change from the pre-intervention to the immediate post-intervention measurement.
