Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The erector spinae is one of the most important back muscles of the human body. After contraction, the entire spine can be erected, allowing the upper body to stand upright. When the posture changes, such as: sitting posture, hunchback, bending over, erector spinae will be stretched or continuously contracted due to different postures, resulting in changes in muscle characteristics. Therefore, if the erector spinae is used improperly for long-term poor posture, the erector spinae is easily damaged due to heavy burden, which can easily cause back pain. Myofascial release (myofascial release) is a soft tissue massage method that loosens the fascia with hands. By changing the mechanical properties of the muscles, it can loosen over-tension or tense muscles. It is the most commonly used by physical therapists to loosen muscles. One of the operation techniques. However, there is no literature to quantify the effect of myofascial mobilization. The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate whether MyotonPRO can quantify the changes in the muscle characteristics of the erector spinae in different postures and after myofascial relaxation, and to test the validity of the muscle tone tester.

manual erector spinae myofascial realease
Myofascial release is performed by a therapist. The patient prone and using two pillows, one on the head and the other under the abdomen, flexing the lumbar spine maximally under the abdomen with the erector spinae in extension. The therapist will then perform 3 sets of 15 reps with a 1-minute rest between sets with myofascial loosening using standard massage techniques.
manual erector spinae myofascial realease
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.
self-myofascial release technique
Use a roller (roller) to release fascia. The subject stand beside the wall and roll back and forth 15 times as a group, rest for one minute in between, and do a total of 3 groups.

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 self mobilization by roller, 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.
