简要总结
This study assesses the effects of dry needling with electrical stimulation to the low back on muscle activity and changes in movement. The investigators hypothesize that dry needling and electrical stimulation will elicit changes in muscle activity as well as changes in movement.
详细描述
This study will utilize a Vicon motion capture system in conjunction with a Noraxon wireless surface electromyography system to analyze movements and muscle activity of each participant pre and post needling.

结局指标
主要结局
Muscle activity changes
时间窗: pre/ post dry needling treatment. Participants' EMG will be recorded over a series of movements of the lumbar spine, will immediately be dry needled with electrical stimulation for up to 10 minutes, then will be immediately reassessed. Total time 2 hours
activity measured and quantified from the amplitude (mV) of the surface EMG electrodes
Kinematic changes
时间窗: Participants kinematics will be recorded over a series of movements of the lumbar spine, will immediately be dry needled with electrical stimulation for up to 10 minutes, then will be immediately reassessed. Total time 2 hours
Measurement of lumbopelvic angles during range of motion activities
